I'm trying to exclude test classes from my final WAR file with Maven. Normally it should be done by default if my tests are in src/test/java but it is not doing it in my case. Test classes are compiled in folder WEB-INF\test-classes\ So I added following plugin in pom.xml
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<configuration>
<packagingExcludes>**/test-classes/*.class</packagingExcludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
But even with that, my test classes are still included in the .war file at the end Does anyone have a workaround or can explain me what I'm missing ? Thanks
UPDATE : plugins that i use in my pom.xml

Well problem was I used maven package goal which did not include integration test. Running mvn install solved my problem ! Thanks
