Let’s assume we want to exclude com.choonchernlim.epicapp.scratch package when we create the JAR file.
Add the following in pom.xml:-
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/scratch/**</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The key here is to specify the execution ID called default-jar.
