I had a similar(?) problem and realized my difficulty was that the "ext"
attribute does not default to "*".
So I have
<exclude type="source" ext="*"/> <!-- must specify ext="*" or else it
defaults to same value as "type" -->
<exclude type="javadoc" ext="*"/>
Not sure that this is related to your question however.
