using assembly to create a war file

[kalebral <ka...@gmail.com>]

Using maven 2.0.7 - I have a project that creates a war file.  I want to
modify the war file and rename some of the files based on the current
project version.  So my assembly.xml looks like:

<assembly>
    <id>distribution</id>
    <formats>
        <format>war</format>
    </formats>
    <files>
        <file>
            <filtered>true</filtered>
            <source>src/main/webapp/scripts/shared.js</source>
            <destName>scripts/shared-${project.version}.js</destName>
        </file>
        <file>
            <filtered>true</filtered>
            <source>src/main/webapp/scripts/global.js</source>
            <destName>scripts/global-${project.version}.js</destName>
        </file>
     </files>
     <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>target/cp-${project.version}/</directory>
            <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
             <includes>
                 <include>**/*</include>
                 <exclude>scripts/global.js</exclude>
                 <exclude>scripts/shared.js</exclude>
             </includes>
         </fileSet>
      </fileSets>
</assembly>

All this works fine and creates a new war file except for two issues 
1 - The new war file created by assembly has an extra directory level  at
the top, in the listing below I want everything below cp0-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT,
just like the war file that is initially created by maven

Archive:  target//cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT-distribution.war
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
        0  11-26-07 11:57   META-INF/
      110  11-26-07 11:57   META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/maps/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/thirdparty/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/yui/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/ga/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/hardcore/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/hardcore/dtree/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/hardcore/webeditor/
        0  11-26-07 11:57  
cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/hardcore/webeditor/dtree/
        0  11-26-07 11:57   cp-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/scripts/hardcore/upload/
............

2 - the exclude statements are not working, those files are still included
in the newly assembled war file

Any ideas??

thanks, Lee
