JaCoCo and missed coverage of private default constructor
<p>I'd like to see an example to prevent <strong>JaCoCo</strong> to report private empty constructors as non-covered code in a Java class.</p>

<p>In the maven plugin configuration I have</p>

<pre><code>   &lt;rule&gt;
     &lt;element&gt;CLASS&lt;/element&gt;
       &lt;excludes&gt;
         &lt;exclude&gt;JAVAC.SYNTHCLASS&lt;/exclude&gt;
         &lt;exclude&gt;JAVAC.SYNTHMETH&lt;/exclude&gt;
       &lt;/excludes&gt;
     &lt;/element&gt;
   &lt;/rule&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Isn't there something similar for the constructor?</p>
