title: <sonar.exclusions> in pom.xml (Maven multi-module project) works locally but not on company server
body: <p>I'm using <code>&lt;sonar.exclusions&gt;</code> in pom.xml to exclude certain packages for unit test code coverage. I have set up Sonar locally and the exclusions reflect on the report. But then, the same exclusions are not honored on the company server.</p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>&lt;sonar.skippedModules&gt;</code> which works as intended and skips the required modules perfectly fine on both environments.</p>
  
  <p>Local Sonar version is Version 4.3.1 Company's Sonar version is Version 4.1.2</p>
  
  <p>An example of how I have written <code>&lt;sonar.skippedModules&gt;</code> in one of the modules:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;properties&gt;
      &lt;project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;
      &lt;project.mainClass&gt;.....&lt;/project.mainClass&gt;
      &lt;sonar.exclusions&gt;
          /src/main/java/../../../../../Package1/*,
          /src/main/java/../../../../../Package2/*,
          /src/main/java/../../../../../JavaClass1.java
      &lt;/sonar.exclusions&gt;
      &lt;sonar.language&gt;java&lt;/sonar.language&gt;
  &lt;/properties&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can you please help me understand why <a href="http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus#NarrowingtheFocus-IgnoreFiles" rel="noreferrer"><code>&lt;sonar.exclusions&gt;</code></a> is honored only locally but not when I build the job (set up on Jenkins) to generate the Sonar report on the company server? Does the difference in the version matter?</p>
  
  <p>Would absence of new-line character following the comma to separate the package names make a difference?</p>
