I was indeed loading an old game. I just started a new one and the changes took
effect. Thank you!

You are correct in assuming that the file specification.xml defines the
rules of the game. However, the content of that file does not influence
the build process, so that you can create the jar file even if the
specification is completely broken. Are you starting a new game or
continuing an old game? In the latter case, the save game file contains
a copy of the specification as it was when you started the game.
