It seems if I use another not hidden directory and place the config their, set
the default value for the configPath to that configuration and add this
directory with ${maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory} as project input, it's a
working workaround. But maybe it should be included as default. Or at least
maybe an option to enable it.
Also the documentation is not very clear about, that hidden directories will be
excluded by default. I think this should be added to the description.
