SourceSet excludes impacts JAR packaging about license-gradle-plugin HOT 4 CLOSED

There are definitely valid usecases for defining exclusions that you don't want to impact the rest of the build (for example, on https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-xd we only want licenses on our .java files, but not on the resources/ files. Yet we obviously want them to be seen / included during the build)

Continuing discussion here as it seems to be the most sensible place.
I did try to apply the latest snapshot to our use case (Spring XD).
While I guess I could endup making it work, it feels very cumbersome. What we want is to apply the plugin to *.java files only (i.e. include *.java), as opposed to trying to list all current (and future) excludes

I also understand that replicating the functionality provided by source sets may be a real pain for you :( ..

@ericbottard If you can open an issue, I'll include includes functionality as well, shouldn't be too hard of a change.

Let me know whether this works, then I'll release a new version.
