Ha! [1] Thanks, this is a somewhat analogous issue to what I had before, 
although my eyes probably glazed over when I saw '"Wrapper" classes', 
because I mostly just want exclude/include simple java files and not 
source directories or anything.

Interesting.  So it looks like they might have syntax as well then for 
<id>remove-source</id> or something from a build.

[1] I still owe you reply emails too as to whether bracketless scoping 
actually makes patch sets harder in large code bases with distributed 
teams, and how awesome it will be when we finally finish the blti 
etherpad!  Someday I will take a whole day to triage my email!
