Jacoco code coverage report is also including classes from "system path jar" that I have added using below maven dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>axis</groupId>
<artifactId>axis</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/lib/axis-1.2.1.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
I tried to exclude the files of this jar from jacoco plugin like this :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.7.2.201409121644</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/org/apache/**/*</exclude>
<exclude>**/org/globus/**/*</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>pre-unit-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<!-- Sets the path to the file which contains the execution data. -->
<destFile>${project.build.directory}/coverage-reports/jacoco.exec</destFile>
<!-- Sets the name of the property containing the settings for JaCoCo
runtime agent. -->
<propertyName>surefireArgLine</propertyName>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>post-unit-test</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<!-- Sets the path to the file which contains the execution data. -->
<dataFile>${project.build.directory}/coverage-reports/jacoco.exec</dataFile>
<!-- Sets the output directory for the code coverage report. -->
<outputDirectory>${project.reporting.outputDirectory}/jacoco</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
But the exclusion is not working. It is still showing the coverage report for the files contained in jar. As it is shown in image, the files in org.apacke. and org.clobus. package should not be there in the coverage report.
I found the answer of it
The above exclusion exclude the classes from my jar file with
system
scope.
