Lib is just a FileSet. In the manual it states:
"The <fileset>, whether implicit or explicit in the directory-based
task, also acts as an <and> selector container. This can be used to
create arbitrarily complicated selection criteria for the files the task
should work with. See the Selector documentation for more information."
In other words, what you have is means "all files in ${lib.dir} which
have the filename a.jar AND b.jar" which is of course nothing.
Instead you should have:
<lib dir="${lib.dir}">
<include name="a.jar"/>
<include name=="b.jar"/>
</lib>

you have to use:
<lib dir="">
<include name=""/>
<exclude name=""/>
</lib>
or just <lib dir=""/> where you point the directory that your libraries
are.
