SOLVED: How to exclude a package from compile

[Peter Horlock]

Thanks Justin, your answer was just what I needed! Actually - you have to
configure the war plugin, but it uses the same syntax as the jar plugin. I
now got:
            <plugin>
                 <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                 <version>2.1-alpha-2</version>
                 <configuration>
                        <archive>

<addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
                                <manifest>

<addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries>

<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
                                </manifest>
                                <manifestEntries>

<version>${project.version}</version>

<Implementation-Build>${build.number}</Implementation-Build>
                                </manifestEntries>
                        </archive>
                 </configuration>
                </plugin>
Thanks also for the hint of how to exclude classes - I wasn't even sure if I
had to configure the compiler, jar or war plugin.
With your hint, it now works!

Thanks!

Peter
