--------------------------------------------

Hi [~elharo],

I'm a little surprised to see you mark this issue as "closed - fixed" so suddenly after four years. Has this really been implemented?

If so, where can I learn more about the implemented solution? Thanks.

> Sometimes it is useful to exclude modules from a reactor build.
> One reason for this can be: Don't generate Javadoc for a testing module.
> Since Maven 3.2.1 it is possible to exclude modules with command line options, eg. mvn -pl !integration-tests
> See MNG-5230 "Command line option to exclude modules from reactor". In this ticket enabling module exclusion for profiles was discussed, but apparently not implemented.
> I'm currently using the -pl command line option on our build server to exclude two projects of a multi module build from Javadoc generation. But I would much prefer to keep this logic in the pom.xml. Something like this:
> <profile>
> <id>javadoc</id>
> <modules>
> <module>!integration-tests</module>
> </modules>
> </profile>
