Frans van Buul commented on MPMD-84:
------------------------------------

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. In our case, it's quite important and in fact a showstopper for using the plugin in our project.

The use case is as follows: I need to work with some complex XML schema's. After ws-import/xjc compilation, I end up with more than a 1000 generated classes, that cause many PMD violations. These classes need to be excluded to get useful reports, and to get acceptable PMD plugin 
performance.

Kind regards,
Frans van Buul

> According to PMD documentation, exclude-patterns should be independendant on the program running PMD :

> But Maven scans through all the files, not taking into account the exclude-patterns and thus including files that shouldn't be.
> THose file should be filtered out by the maven plugin
