Maven : Problem in including/excluding some java war files in a war file.

[Sudheer Gollapudi]

Hello

Iam working on a project where i have to convert the existing ANT based
project to a maven project.In this process iam trying to make multiple war
files out of a single source base.Iam using the maven build tag to do this
and here is a sample code that iam using in my pom.xml

<build>
               <plugins>
                       <plugin>
                               <groupId>org.apache.maven.
plugins</groupId>
                               <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                               <executions>
                                       <execution>
                                               <id>tdeinbound</id>
                                               <phase>package</phase>
                                               <goals>
                                                       <goal>war</goal>
                                               </goals>
                                               <configuration>

 <classifier>tdeinbound</classifier>

                                       </execution>
                               </executions>
                       </plugin>
               </plugins>
       </build>

Iam trying to include some of my source files using the include tag and iam
trying to exclude some of the java files using the exclude tags.Though iam
running my mvn install,the final war that is getting built is containing the
entire source and its not including a sub set of classes or its not
exlucding some set of classes.I have tried the following options

1.Trying with only include tag in the build sevtion.
2.Trying with only exclude tag in the build section.
3.Trying to include the include tag and the exclude tag under a
"<webResources> <resource>" tag but this gives a null pointer exception when
running the mvn instal target.

Please guide me through this

Thanks for all your comments
