War task to include multiple lib files?

[wolverine my <wo...@gmail.com>]

Hi!
 I'm using Ant 1.6.5 and I have the following Ant task:
  <war destfile="${dist.dir}/${app.name <http://app.name>}.war" webxml="${
web.dir}/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<classes dir="${build.dir}/WEB-INF/classes"/>
<lib dir="${lib.dir}">
<filename name="a.jar"/>
<filename name="b.jar"/>
</lib>
<metainf dir="${web.dir}/WEB-INF">
<filename name="context.xml"/>
</metainf>
</war>
 The Ant task is executed successfully but there is no WEB-INF/lib archived 
in the WAR file.
However if I delete "b.jar" from the <lib> then the WAR will contains 
WEB-INF/lib/a.jar
 What could be the problem? Can we specify more than one file for <lib>?

you have to use:
<lib dir="">
<include name=""/>
<exclude name=""/>
</lib>

or just <lib dir=""/> where you point the directory that your libraries are.
