Hi @Balachandran_AV,
The SonarQube file exclusion settings are taken into account in SonarLint when an automatic analysis happens. If you manually triggered an analysis on the current file or if you triggered a report, it won’t take into account the exclusion settings set on your server. It is the same for the SonarLint exclusion settings that you can set within your IDE.
Regarding your question about the difference between **/src/test/java/**/* and **/src/test/java/**, there is none. The ** is already expanding to every file and directory under the current directory, so the last /* should not match anything.
