Ant没有编译* .properties文件

Question

I'm new to Ant and am having some issues compiling my project. I have several .properties files in my project src/ . I'm compiling my project to a .WAR via my build.xml (posted below). When deploying, I see several FileNotFound exceptions and even after unpacking the .WAR file, I see that the *.properties files are not present in my final distribution. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="APP" default="war">

<path id="compile.classpath">
    <fileset dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib">
        <include name="*.jar" />
    </fileset>
</path>

<target name="init">
    <mkdir dir="build/classes" />
    <mkdir dir="dist" />
</target>

<target name="compile" depends="init">
    <javac destdir="build/classes" includeantruntime="false" debug="true" srcdir="src">
        <classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
    </javac>
</target>

<target name="war" depends="compile">
    <war destfile="dist/APP.war" webxml="WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml" duplicate="preserve">
        <fileset dir="WebContent" />
        <lib dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" />
        <classes dir="build/classes" />
    </war>
</target>

You simply did not include those properties files when calling the war task. You should explicitly include them (I used a zipfileset to add a prefix so that they are placed in the right path):

<war destfile="dist/APP.war" webxml="WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml" duplicate="preserve">
    <fileset dir="WebContent" />
    <zipfileset dir="src"
          prefix="WEB-INF/classes">
          <include name="**/*.properties"/>
    </zipfileset>
    <lib dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" />
    <classes dir="build/classes" />
</war>

Or as proposed by srkavin in the comments (but with some modification to include files in subdirectories):

<war destfile="dist/APP.war" webxml="WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml" duplicate="preserve">
    <fileset dir="WebContent" />
    <lib dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" />
    <classes dir="build/classes" />
    <classes dir="src" includes="**/*.properties"/>
</war>
