Make it possible to exclude certain subprojects

[jqno]

We're including a new subproject of existing legacy code in our project. I'd like to be able to disable the FindSecBugs check on that project, because we're going to leave the code as-is anyway.

I tried this:

lazy val mysubmodule = (project in file("mysubmodule"))
  .disableplugins(FindSecBugs)

But I get the following error:

[error] sbt.AutoPluginException: Error determining plugins for project 'mysubmodule' in /Users/jqno/workspaces/myproject/mysubmodule:
[error] Contradiction in selected plugins.  These plugins were both included and excluded: nl.codestar.sbtfindsecbugs.FindSecBugs

This is a known issue for SBT AutoPlugins: sbt/sbt#1926

I'm not sure how to solve this.

• Maybe it doesn't have to be an AutoPlugin?
• I notice the HerokuPlugin can be disabled, maybe they do something differently from us?
• Instead of excluding entire submodules, maybe we can add a setting for a mask for package names to exclude?
• Maybe something else?
