Excluding Packages

 To exclude specific packages, use {{{../javadoc-mojo.html#excludePackageNames}\<excludePackageNames/\>}} parameter
 as shown below. The parameter accepts wildcard (*) characters in its value but the wildcards should either be at the
 start or the end of the package name. If more than one package is to be excluded, each package name must be separated
 either with a colon (':'), a comma (',') or a semicolon (';'). (similar to the
 {{{http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html#exclude}Javadoc Tool}})

 For instance, with the following packages:

+-----+
com.mycompany.myapp
com.mycompany.myapp.package1
com.mycompany.myapp.package1.subpackage1
com.mycompany.myapp.package1.subpackage2
com.mycompany.myapp.package1.subpackage3
com.mycompany.myapp.package1.util
com.mycompany.myapp.package2
com.mycompany.myapp.package2.subpackage4
com.mycompany.myapp.package2.subpackage5
com.mycompany.myapp.package2.util
com.mycompany.myapp.package3
com.mycompany.myapp.package3.subpackage6
com.mycompany.myapp.package3.subpackage6.subsubpackage1
com.mycompany.myapp.package3.subpackage6.subsubpackage2
com.mycompany.myapp.package3.subpackage7
com.mycompany.myapp.package3.util
+-----+

  You could have the following configuration:

%{snippet|id=excludePackageNames|file=target/it/examples/exclude-package-names/pom.xml}
