Raja, currently this is done with an Ant script. The WAR export facilities of MyEclipse are provided for development and testing needs, for deployment on production systems we encourage you to develop Ant scripts that build/package your projects exactly as needed. There actually hasn’t been a big demand to allow more fine grained control of the export functionality in the WAR exporter, which is another reason is it very basic right now.

I’m sorry for the bad news, what you could do if you have MyEclipse all setup is just to deploy a packaged deployment, then use WinZip, WinRAR or other archiver to go in and remove the test cases from the WAR before deploying it to a production machine.
