How can I include data text files in a jar using Ant?

In my src folder there is another folder called data which contains files data1.txt and data2.txt. The applicati开发者_Go百科on loads a graph from these files in the initialization, so I want to include these files in my final jar. I use Ant to produce the jar file.

Example from http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/jar.html :

  <jar destfile="${dist}/lib/app.jar">
    <fileset dir="${build}/classes"/>
    <fileset dir="${src}/resources"/>
  </jar>

So basically you would want to include the data-files in the same way as "resources" are included above.

From the documentation of the <jar> task:

It is possible to refine the set of files that are being jarred. This can be done with the includes, includesfile, excludes, excludesfile and defaultexcludes attributes.

Copy the files to your classes directory, where they will be included into the jar.

enter code here

<target name="copyHibernateXml">
    <copy todir="classes">
        <fileset dir="${basedir}/${sourceDir}" includes="*.xml,*.csv"/>
    </copy>
</target>
