Create an ant Ejb/Jar With all the data inside a folder

Question

i've got a problem inside a Java-EE Application.

Due to some choice the system is the following one:

Java Class and Properties inside a Java Package. Java Package inside a Ejb Project. Ear of all the data.

For creating all of this we need to use ant, i cannot use other system and ant is run on a remote server after a Deliver.

This Example show what for now we've got:

<target name="init" description="mkdir">
<tstamp />
<delete dir="${path_tmp}"/>
 <mkdir dir="${class_dir}" />
 <mkdir dir="${ejb_destdir}" />
 <delete file="${ejb_destdir}/*"/>

<target name="compilaEjb_utility" description="ejb compile">
    <antcall target="init_jar" />
    <javac srcdir="${javaejbDir_utility}" 
            destdir="${class_dir}"
           includes="**/*.java **/*.properties" 
                 fork="yes"
         executable="${project_javahome}/bin/javac"
            compiler="${compiler}"  
           target="${target}" 
             verbose="${verbose}"
        deprecation="${deprecation}"
                debug="${debug_opt}" 
         debuglevel="${debug_level}"    
             source="1.6">
     <classpath refid="project.class.path"/>
    </javac>
    <copy todir="${class_dir}" overwrite="true">
        <fileset dir="${javaDir}" includes="**/*.properties" />
     </copy>     
</target>

<target name="create_jar" depends="compilaEjb_utility">
    <jar destfile="${ejb_destdir}/${ejbName_utility}.jar" basedir="${class_dir}" includes="**/*">
     <metainf dir="${metainf_dir_utility}"/>
    </jar>  
</target>

However those command create the Jar with all the .java (after compiling it) but the .properties file are not taken, what i'm doing wrong?

Solved. Normally, when you do use this code to make an Ejb you do not have file that aren't .Java, however it does work fine with a War.

To solve it we changed this code:

<copy todir="${class_dir}" overwrite="true">
    <fileset dir="${javaDir}" includes="**/*.properties" />
 </copy>

With

<copy todir="${class_dir}" overwrite="true">
    <fileset dir="${javaejbDir_utility}" includes="**/*.properties" />
 </copy>

It was wrong the source of the copy command.
