Exclude log4j.properties in the generated jar - maven

Question

I am using maven-compiler-plugin to build a JAR from one of my module, and I am not able to exclude log4j.properties from the generated JAR.
I tried:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>8</source>
<target>8</target>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/log4j.properties</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
But this does not work. I can exclude the file globally:
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>log4j.properties</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resources>
But I don't want to do this as this impact the Eclipse build, and makes it impossible to run code from Eclipse that uses log4j.
I tried to see if the included log4j.properties was mine and not from another module, and it is mine. I've read numerous posts on the issue, including some here, but I still cannot solve it...
If this matters, this module is a submodule of a parent package, with the following <build>:
