Exclude generated code in sonar

Question

How to exclude generated code from sonar processing and reporting?

I tried to exclude **/*generated* but packages like org.blayo.generated are still in report:

<plugin>
  ...
  <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>

    <excludes>**/*generated*</excludes>

Edit: The right regular expression was **/generated/*.java

Answer 1

The exclusion pattern has changed since SonarQube 3.5. Here is how it works now:

<properties>
   <sonar.exclusions>file:**/generated-sources/**</sonar.exclusions>
</properties>
