What is the difference between `warSourceExcludes` and` packagingExcludes` in Maven

Question

The Maven WAR plugin has two configuration options: warSourceExcludesand packagingExcludes. There is some documentation , saying: packagingExcludes packagingExcludes

You can include or exclude specific files from the WAR file using the <packagingIncludes>and configuration options <packagingExcludes>.

However, it is very difficult for me to find information about warSourceExcludes.

What is the difference between these two configuration options?

I am using Maven 3.1.1 and the WAR plugin version 2.4
