Description

Is there a way to configure the code coverage tool to exclude certain classes from coverage? I know there's a java.test.coverage property but haven't been able to find any details on how to configure it, other than the appendResult property.

If there is currently no way to do this, it would be great to add it as a new feature.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the java.test.coverage configuration is handled, including the documented appendResult property, and check whether class exclusions are supported anywhere. Define the configuration shape and verify that a selected class can be omitted from coverage results; update relevant tests or documentation once the behavior is established.
