Maven: excluding java files in compilation

Question

I have a folder of java sources which I wish to exclude from the compilation.

My folder is under qa/apitests/src/main/java/api/test/omi.

I added the following entry in the pom.xml under qa/bamtests but it didn't help. Is there an entry in addition I need to make?

   <build>
     <resources>
       <resource>
         <directory>src/main/java</directory>
         <includes>
           <include>**/*.properties</include>
           <include>**/*.xml</include>
           <include>**/*.xsd</include>
           <include>**/*.csv</include>
         </includes>
         <excludes>
<exclude>src/main/java/api/test/omi</exclude>
         </excludes>
       </resource>
</build>

Use the Maven Compiler Plugin.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <excludes>
      <exclude>**/api/test/omi/*.java</exclude>
    </excludes>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
