Maven Jacoco Configuration – Exclude classes/packages from report not working

by

Your XML is slightly wrong, you need to add any class exclusions within an excludes parent field, so your above configuration should look like the following as per the Jacoco docs

<configuration>
    <excludes>
        <exclude>**/*Config.*</exclude>
        <exclude>**/*Dev.*</exclude>
    </excludes>
</configuration>

The values of the exclude fields should be class paths (not package names) of the compiled classes relative to the directory target/classes/ using the standard wildcard syntax

*   Match zero or more characters
**  Match zero or more directories
?   Match a single character

You may also exclude a package and all of its children/subpackages this way:

<exclude>some/package/**/*</exclude>

This will exclude every class in some.package, as well as any children. For example, some.package.child wouldn’t be included in the reports either.

I have tested and my report goal reports on a reduced number of classes using the above.

If you are then pushing this report into Sonar, you will then need to tell Sonar to exclude these classes in the display which can be done in the Sonar settings

Settings > General Settings > Exclusions > Code Coverage

Sonar Docs explains it a bit more

Running your command above

mvn clean verify

Will show the classes have been excluded

No exclusions

[INFO] --- jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.4.201502262128:report (post-test) @ ** ---
[INFO] Analyzed bundle '**' with 37 classes

With exclusions

[INFO] --- jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.4.201502262128:report (post-test) @ ** ---
[INFO] Analyzed bundle '**' with 34 classes

Hope this helps
