Here's a little experiment that reduces the problem to its simplest case.
Suppose for argument's sake I'm not jarring any class files. Here's a
passage that works:
<fileset id="sub.resources.fileset.for.jar" dir="${main.java.dir}" *
includes="**/*.java"* />
<jar destfile="${target.dir}/${jarArtifactName}.jar">
<fileset refid="sub.resources.fileset.for.jar" />
</jar>
But suppose I change just one small thing. From this:
includes="**/*.java"
To *this*:
includes="**/*.xml"
Suddenly now, the jar task collapses the directory structure.
