从Maven构建中排除测试文件夹

Question

This is one of the most asked questions here in so... but why any answer works for me? i believe i have somehow a wrong maven structure in my project

I have a project like

basedir
|-src
|--many many many packages
|-test
|--testpackages
|-pom.xml

So my pom.xml is in the same level as src and test folders and it isn't the typical structure like java/main/ java/test... it is the root of the project folder

<build>
        <sourceDirectory>${basedir}/src</sourceDirectory>
        <testSourceDirectory>${basedir}/test</testSourceDirectory>

        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.0.1</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>attach-sources</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>

                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.5.1</version>

                <configuration>
                    <source>1.7</source>
                    <target>1.7</target>
                <excludes>
                <exclude>**/test/**</exclude>
                </excludes>
                </configuration>


            </plugin>

        </plugins>
    </build>

but when i run maven install and open the generated jar the folder test is in there... how can i solve and make it ignore this folder?

Answer 1

Add -DskipTests to mvn command as a workaround. For instance:

mvn package -DskipTests

Answer 2

Yes, I believe your maven project structure is not correct. Maven excludes src/test/java for packaging by default so test folder should be inside src and not in the same level as shown below:
