Try doing something like:
<preGoal name="war">
<j:set var="maven.war.src.excludes"
scope="parent">sources_to_exclude</j:set>
<j:set var="some.other.property" scope="parent">value</j:set>
.....
</preGoal>
Or, you could put those j:set statements in the <goal
name="default"></goal> tag, so that they happen before executing the goal
"war". Hope that helps.
