I had the same experience.
Just to illustrate here is my build target, quite straightforward:
<target name="build-live-war">
<war
duplicate="preserve"
destfile="${build.dir}/${liveWarName}.war"
webxml="${basedir}/live-conf/web.xml">
<metainf dir="${basedir}/live-conf">
<include name="context.xml"/>
</metainf>
<classes dir="${contextHome}/WEB-INF/classes" />
<classes dir="${basedir}/live-conf">
<include name="*.properties"/>
</classes>
<fileset dir="${contextHome}">
<include name="*" />
<include name="css/*" />
<include name="images/*" />
<include name="samples/*" />
</fileset>
<webinf dir="${contextHome}/WEB-INF">
<include name="admin/*"/>
<include name="images/*"/>
<include name="*.page" />
<include name="*.application" />
<include name="*.jwc" />
<include name="*.html" />
<include name="*.xml" />
<include name="*.css" />
<exclude name="web.xml" />
</webinf>
<lib dir="../lib/base"><include name="*.jar"/></lib>
<lib dir="../lib">
<include name="bluprinted-commons.jar"/>
<include name="bluprinted-personal.jar"/>
<include name="bluprinted-simppler.jar"/>
</lib>
</war>
<zip destfile="${build.dir}/blingon-portal-src.jar"
basedir="${src.api}"/>
<copy todir="../lib">
<fileset dir="${build.dir}"><include name="*.jar"/><include
name="blingon*.zip"/></fileset>
</copy>
<copy tofile="../lib/blingon-portal-build.xml"
file="${basedir}/build.xml"/>
</target>
