Ed Bras commented on MPMD-84:
-----------------------------
Sorry, not possible, too complex, too big (many maven parents, many
projects...etc..), and the client will not allow me...
> Without one it is very difficult for us to verify it.
Why?
My idea: create an eclipse project, copy the above to maven snippet in a maven
pom.xml, create the ruleset, create some included and exlcuded pacakges, and
test it..
I don't understand your comment...
BTW: I get the idea, from googling about this issue that the plugin exclude is
the same as ruleset exclude-pattern and is only used in the "root" ruleset. I
can't find the exact link anymore, but I read something about that....
In my case the rulsets are all defined in the pom.xml, which is then the
"root", and only the contained exclude in ht pom.xml is then used, any other
nested excluded like exclude-pattern are simple ignored...
In case of ANT, you are can include a ruleset directly in the ant file, which
is then the "root" such that the contained exlude-pattern in the ruleset is
then used and other nested exclude-pattern's are ignored..
Ofcourse this is very restricted and confusing.. but seems a possible
explication.
