Игнорирование создания отчетов для определенных классов в подключаемом модуле cobertura maven

Я использую плагин Cobertura для генерации отчетов и инструментовки (уверенно). Here is the issue I am facing:

I am unable to make the plugin ignore report generation for specific classes in my project.

PF below the related excerpt from pom.xml, I have added the ignore tag, but that just ignores instrumentation for the ignored classes.

I want the report for specific projects to not be generated at all.

Firstly, due to my limited knowledge of both Maven and Conberture, I want to know is it possible, and if yes, then what are the changes I need to get done in pom.xml.

pom.xml

<report>
    <!-- other plugins exist but are not important to be listed here I guess -->   
    <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

                </property>
            </systemProperties>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
    <!-- The following is the plugin for cobertura, which takes care of integration and report generation-->

            </check>
            <instrumentation>
                <ignores>
                  <ignore>deshaw.dportal.alert.*</ignore>
                  <ignore>deshaw.dportal.atc.*</ignore>

                  <ignore>deshaw.dportal.filings.*</ignore>
                  <ignore>deshaw.dportal.glg.*</ignore>
                  <ignore>deshaw.dportal.icp.*</ignore>
                </ignores>
            </instrumentation>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
</report>

Edit:

This my directory structure:

module
|
|-apps
|    |-alert
|    |    |-src
|    |    |-target
|    |    |-pom.xml
|    |-------------------
|    |-company
|    |    |-src
|    |    |-target
|    |    |-pom.xml
|-----------------------
|-jobs
|    |-job1
|    |    |-src
|    |    |-target
|    |    |-pom.xml
|    |-job2
|    |    |-src
|    |    |-target
|    |    |-pom.xml

I tried the following in module/pom.xml

<instrumentation>
    <excludes>
        <exclude>**/apps/*.*</exclude>
    </excludes>
</instrumentation>

I still get the reports being generated in both the alerts and company directory.

Probably the exclude regex is not right?
