excludes file in war task

[Eloise Friedman <El...@orcainteractive.com>]

I am writimg a war task that must contain only several of the java classes composing the parser package.
I added a file called files containing a list of classes to be excluded (file1.class,file2.class etc'), but they all appear in the war file anyway.
what have I done wrong?

    <war
       destfile="${Lib}WAR.war"
       webxml="${Web}/web.xml"
       update="true">
       <classes dir="${Bin}">
           <include name="parser/*"/>
           <exclude name="parser/files"/>
           <excludesfile name="${Bin}/parser/files"/>
       </classes>
    </war>

Using a nested <fileset> results in an unsupported element error.

The names must be relative to the dur attribute of your <classes>
element, not relative to the location of your excludesfile.  Is this
the case?
