ant newbie question

I have a web app that I am trying to learn ant with.
In this test scenario, I don't want to use packages, so I am trying to figure out the best way to use ant to build the entire project.
Here is my build file and my includesfile


<project name="crossroads" default="buildActions" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
  <property name="classes" value="WEB-INF/classes" />
</target> 

<target name="tstBuild" depends="init">
  <javac srcdir="${classes}" destdir="${classes}" includesfile="incFile">
    <classpath>
    <pathelement location="/opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/lib/servlet.jar"/>
    <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar"/>
    <pathelement location="WEB-INF/classes/Forms"/>
    <pathelement location="${Utils}"/>
    <pathelement location="${Forms}"/>
    <pathelement location="${DataSources}"/>
    <pathelement location="${DomainObjects}"/>
    <pathelement location="${Actions}"/>
    <pathelement location="${TagSrc}"/>
    </classpath>
  </javac>
</target>
</project>
<!-- here is incFile 
${classes}/Utils/Constants.java
${classes}/DomainObjects/MyEvent.java
${classes}/Utils/User.java
${classes}/Forms/EditEventForm.java
${classes}/Forms/EditEventsForm.java
${classes}/Forms/LogonForm.java
${classes}/TagSrc/CheckLogonTag.java
${classes}/DataSources/MyCalendarDS.java
${classes}/DataSources/MyCalendarDayDS.java
${classes}/DataSources/MyEventDS.java
${classes}/DomainObjects/MyCalendar.java
${classes}/DomainObjects/MyCalendarDay.java
${classes}/Actions/ChangeMonthAction.java
${classes}/Actions/EditEventAction.java
${classes}/Actions/EditEventsAction.java
${classes}/Actions/LogonAction.java
${classes}/Actions/MyCalendarAction.java
-->



Questions:
  a.. Why do I get the following when It did nothing. Should I not get "project up to date" or "no files found" or something to tell me what it is doing:
earching for build.xml ...

Buildfile: /home/jmcclain/dev/crossroads2/build.xml


init:


tstBuild:


BUILD SUCCESSFUL


Total time: 0 seconds 

  a.. Can I use a pattern or fileset instead of an include file? how would I do it???
  b.. Is there a better way to do this NOT using packages?

Hi John,
        Try turning on the -verbose option...u will be
able to see what's happenning 'behind the scenes'...it
will tell u whether it is selecting a particular file
or not.....

Check the ant user manual for pattern set and file
sets ..the example given there should be sufficient to
handle your requirement....

i guess u can use **/*.java in the "include task" to
include sub-directories also.
