Try

<webinf dir="../web/WEB-INF" includes="**/*.jar" excludes="**/classes12.jar,**/jstl-1.1.0.jar" />

That should be the only element you need for WEB-INF/lib, so get rid of the others

The exclude/include need to be inside a <fileset>

a sample how to exclude;

<!-- Generate the war file -->
    <target name="war" depends="prepare-war">

        <war warfile="${final.war.name}"
             webxml="${conf.dir}/web.xml"
             manifest="${out.conf.dir}/manifest">

            <classes dir="${out.classes.dir}">
                <!-- Do not include test files in the runtime jar -->
                <exclude name="**/Test*.*"/>
                <exclude name="**/test*.*"/>

                <!-- Also exclude the test cactus.properties file -->
                <exclude name="cactus.properties"/>
            </classes>

            <fileset dir="${web.dir}">
                <exclude name="test/**"/>
            </fileset>
        </war>

    </target>
