You may need to describe more fully what you have or what you want to happen. Your example works as expected if I run it.

In a build script that only contains:

apply plugin: 'war'

processResources {
    from("A/B") {
        include 'add/**'
    }
}

and the directory structure you outlined, all files in the directory A/B/add are included in the war file, but not any in A/B/notadd.
