/**
 * <p>
 * File filter {@code BeforeExecutionExclusionFileFilter} decides which files should be
 * excluded from being processed by the utility.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * By default, Checkstyle includes all files and subdirectories in a directory to be processed and
 * checked for violations. Users could have files that are in these subdirectories that shouldn't
 * be processed with their checkstyle configuration for various reasons, one of which is a valid
 * Java file that won't pass Checkstyle's parser. When Checkstyle tries to parse a Java file and
 * fails, it will throw an {@code Exception} and halt parsing any more files for violations.
 * An example of a valid Java file Checkstyle can't parse is JDK 9's {@code module-info.java}.
 * This file filter will exclude these problem files from being parsed, allowing the rest of the
 * files to run normal and be validated.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>Note:</b> When a file is excluded from the utility, it is excluded from all Checks and no
 * testing for violations will be performed on them.
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code fileNamePattern} - Define regular expression to match the file name against.
 * Type is {@code java.util.regex.Pattern}.
 * Default value is {@code null}.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * To configure the filter to exclude all 'module-info.java' files:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;BeforeExecutionExclusionFileFilter&quot;&gt;
 *   &lt;property name=&quot;fileNamePattern&quot; value=&quot;module\-info\.java$&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To configure the filter to run only on required files for example that ends with "Remote"
 * or end with "Client" in names or named as "Remote.java" or "Client.java"
 * use <a href="https://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html">negative lookahead</a>:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;BeforeExecutionExclusionFileFilter&quot;&gt;
 *   &lt;property name=&quot;fileNamePattern&quot;
 *  value=&quot;^(?!.*(Remote\.java|Client\.java|[\\/]Remote\.java|[\\/]Client\.java)).*$&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To configure the filter to exclude all Test folder files:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;BeforeExecutionExclusionFileFilter&quot;&gt;
 *   &lt;property name=&quot;fileNamePattern&quot;
 *     value=&quot;.*[\\/]src[\\/]test[\\/].*$&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
