Exclude a package root from SonarLint?

Question

How do you exclude all classes in a particular root package in SonarLint?

For example, I want to exclude all classes such as foo.bar.xxx and foo.bar.yyy.zzz.

I've tried both of these no to avail:

• sonar.exclusions = /foo/bar/**
• sonar.exclusions = **/foo/bar/**

I'm using the Intellij plugin, but I assume that the syntax would follow the same documented one from here (https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus)

Unfortunately the sonar.exclusions property is ignored by SonarLint for IntelliJ (and Eclipse too). There's a ticket to add support for that, feel free to vote on it:
