How to setup JaCoco plugin to exclude a maven module

[Niranjan Rao]

For my deployment, I have one master pom which includes bunch of other
modules. Basically standard setup which, works from maven command line
just fine.

I have setup jenkins to record JaCoCo coverage report. Problem is one
the pom file is just a placeholder maven project which does not have any
source associated with it. Its used for deploying multiple web
applications in one shot. Reasoning is my deployment settings are only
at one location. This pom declares dependency on other web applications
and uses maven cargo plugin to deploy many war files.

When I run this in hudson, JaCoco plugin complains about missing classes
directory.

org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.6.1.201212231917:report (post-unit-test) on project qaDeployer: Execution post-unit-test of goal org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.6.1.201212231917:report failed: basedir /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/Snapshot_build/workspace/qaDeployer/target/classes does not exist
at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:225)

What do I need to do so that this module is excluded from JaCoCo
settings. I have tried settings exclusion pattern as **/qaDeployer/**/*
but it does not help.
