I had some time to look at the Ant build file for JUMP/OpenJUMP again
today at lunch. I had a question about the "compile" target. Here is a
snippet of the target from the build file:

<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
   <!-- Create the /build/classes directory to store the class files resulting
   from the compilation process. The Sunburned Surveyor 2006-10-25] -->
   <mkdir dir="${build.classes}"/>
   <!-- Execute the "javac" task with properties defined previously in the
   build script.  The Sunburned Surveyor 2006-10-25] -->
   <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.classes}" debug="${debug}"
   deprecation="${deprecation}" optimize="${optimize}">
      <classpath refid="base.classpath"/>
   </javac>
   <copy todir="${build.classes}">
      <fileset dir="${src.dir}" excludes="**/*.java,**/*.class"/>
   </copy>
</target>

Why do we exclude Java Class files from the copy task in this target?
Isn't that the very thing that we want to copy? If we aren't copying
the Java Class files in this task, what are we copying?

Thanks for the clarification.
