Maybe the Tutorial "Hello World with Ant" [1] would also help.
If you need more information in that tutorial, let me know ;-)

>Hello Aviator--
>
>99% of ant builds configure their srcdir using FileSet selector..
>http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html
>FileSet identifies 1 base folder , optional subfolders and 
>optional file 
>extensions
>
>The one folder fits all scenario Ive seen in the real world 
>where everyone 
>dumps their source, classes, web.xml and tlds to the same folder
>The build.xml targets can easily rectify this by identifying 
>the source 
>folder via Source Control (source control identifies that 
>source folder with 
>en var CVS_ROOT)
>The location of destdir should be dependent on the where the 
>input folder 
>for the utility (typically jar) which will war the 
>classes/web.xml and tlds 
>together0
