.properties and .xml files

Sorry if this is a "newbie" question but I recently wrote a build.xml for my
open source project and I noticed that any .properties file and .xml files
including under my /src directory were not transfered over or included with my
.jar.

Is there a setting Im suppose to be looking @ for including these files?

Thanks.

How does the part of the build.xml that "does not work" look like? Normally
Ant simply does everthing you tell it to do and should not exclude files
(other than documented here
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/dirtasks.html for some tasks).

nope. Just use the copy task something like

    <copy todir="${build.classes}">
      <fileset dir="${java.dir}">
        <include name="**/*.properties"/>
        <include name="**/*.xml"/>
      </fileset>
    </copy>

or

    <copy todir="${build.classes}">
      <fileset dir="${java.dir}">
        <exclude name="**/*.java"/>
      </fileset>
    </copy>
Cheers,

Pete
