If you want to exclude the java sources from compiling, then mention them in the Maven Compiler Plugin definition

    
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-compiler-plugin
        2.0.2
        
            
              src/main/java/api/test/omi/*.java
            
        
    

The resources plugin only defines what all resources to bundle in your final artifact.
