Excludes are ignored

[Erwin Müller]

Version affected

4.2.rc3

Describe the bug

I need to exclude projects that I added with git-submodule. But no matter what pattern I use the license headers are checked and found invalid.

How to Reproduce

I tried just the like jenkins-cpp-docker, **/jenkins-cpp-docker, **/jenkins-cpp-docker/** *jenkins-cpp-docker/**` but nothing works.

Here is the relevant plugin configuration:

I made it work by doubling the configuration. But according to the documentation this configuration below should be invalid.

I can close this because I had a wrong configuration in the parent Pom.
