The configuration looks like this: 
  <moduleExcludes>
    <moduleType>filename1.ext,**/*sample.ext</moduleType>
    <!-- moduleType can be one of 'apt', 'fml' or 'xdoc'. -->
    <!-- The value is a comma separated list of           -->
    <!-- filenames or fileset patterns.                   -->
    <!-- Here's an example:                               -->
    <xdoc>changes.xml,navigation.xml</xdoc>
  </moduleExcludes>

Default value is: ${project.reporting.outputDirectory}.
outputEncoding String - Specifies the output encoding.
Default value is: ${project.reporting.outputEncoding}.
relativizeDecorationLinks boolean 2.3 Make links in the site descriptor relative to the project URL. By default, any absolute links that appear in the site descriptor, e.g. banner hrefs, breadcrumbs, menu links, etc., will be made relative to project.url. Links will not be changed if this is set to false, or if the project has no URL defined.
Default value is: true.

validate boolean 2.1.1 Whether to validate xml input documents. If set to true, all input documents in xml format (in particular xdoc and fml) will be validated and any error will lead to a build failure.
Default value is: false.
xdocDirectory File - Deprecated. use the standard m2 directory layout
Default value is: ${basedir}/xdocs.
