Apache Ant add property file and policy file

[Ellen fish]

Hello,

I'm new to Ant and I'm try to include two files, console.property and java.policy to my Ant build.xml. Couldn't find much information online, any suggestions will be great help.
Thank you,

<project name="Tool" basedir="." default="main">
 
    <property name="src.dir"     value="src"/>
 
    <property name="build.dir"   value="build"/>
    <property name="classes.dir" value="${build.dir}/classes"/>
    <property name="jar.dir"     value="${build.dir}/jar"/>
 
    <property name="main-class"  value="Tool"/>
 
    <property name="lib.dir"     value="lib"/>
 
    <path id="classpath">
        <fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar"/>
    </path>
 
 
 
    <target name="clean">
        <delete dir="${build.dir}"/>
    </target>
 
    <target name="compile">
        <mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
        <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}" classpathref="classpath"/>
    </target>
 
 
    <target name="jar" depends="compile">
        <mkdir dir="${jar.dir}"/>
        <jar destfile="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" basedir="${classes.dir}">
            <manifest>
                <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${main-class}"/>
            </manifest>
        </jar>
    </target>
 
    <target name="run" depends="jar">
        <java fork="true" classname="${main-class}">
            <classpath>
                <path refid="classpath"/>
                <path location="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
            </classpath>
        </java>
    </target>
 
 
 
    <target name="clean-build" depends="clean,jar"/>
 
    <target name="main" depends="clean,run"/>
 
</project>

You mean you want to add these 2 files to some (jar)file/deployable generated through Ant?

[Ellen fish]

yes, my java program need to use these two files.

What I would do is add another target to place the files into their proper location in the ${classes.dir} directory:

<target name="resources" >
  <copy todir="${classes.dir}" >
    <fileset dir="resources" />
  </copy>
</target>

(You never said where those files are located nor where you would like them to end up, so the above code assumes they are in the "resources" directory and that they should be in the base directory of the JAR file.)

Next, add this target as a dependency on the jar target:

<target name="jar" depends="compile, resources">
