Fortify includes generated-sources in analysis

Question

Is there a way to exclude generated-sources out of Fortify scan? I tried sourcepath option mentioned in the guide but it never seem to work for me.

-Dfortify.sca.sourcepath="**/target/generated-sources/**/*.java" or 

-Dfortify.sca.sourcepath="**/target/generated-sources/**" 

Both the above options ended up with the below warning

[WARNING] Bad value provided for option -sourcepath.

Answer 1

Do not add ** to sourcepath, specify the directories instead:

-Dfortify.sca.sourcepath="module1/target/generated-sources" -Dfortify.sca.sourcepath="module2/target/generated-sources"

If you are using sourceanalyzer you can add the -exclude parameter, with this you can use wildchars, like

-exclude module1/target/generated-sources/**/*.java
