Description
**[Kevin A Shaw](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=hephaestus)** opened **[MCOMPILER-521](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-521?redirect=false)** and commented
I am working with a multi-module project and need to exclude some source-directories from compilation for only one module (StackOverFlow [posting](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75120440/excluding-source-directory-in-maven)). I have seen [examples](https://coderanch.com/t/745331/java/Excluding-java-files-Maven-build) suggesting that the `maven-compiler-plugin` can exclude directories with the following code.
I have searched the Apache Maven documentation ([link](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/index.html)) but this is never mentioned. Is this actually a supported option? If so, could a reference to it be added to the documentation. It would make searching on it so much easier. {{}}
