Well like all these things, after you've written them down, the answer pops
up.
I now simply define a property in the profile (that can be different per
build profile) e.g.
<junitee.optional.war.excluded>false</junitee.optional.war.excluded>
then in the EAR's pom.xml I configure the maven-ear-plugin
<webModule>
<groupId>mygroup</groupId>
<artifactId>myArtifact</artifactId>
<contextRoot>/myContextRoot</contextRoot>
<bundleFileName>myArtifact.war</bundleFileName>
<excluded>${junitee.optional.war.excluded}</excluded>
</webModule>
