Ant ignoring copy task file?

I have the following :

 <mkdir dir="${build.dir}/serverNIO" />
   <copy todir="${build.dir}/serverNIO" overwrite="true" verbose="true">
    <fileset dir="resources/serverresources">
        <include name="*.properties" />
    </fileset>
</copy>

I want to copy the properties file from one folder to the other, all other tasks work fine except this one. Why does this happen? I do not even get any error message,and the file are in the location mentioned.

So when I try to run my server:

MacBook-Pro:ClientServerNio ramapriyasridharan$ ant run_server
Buildfile: /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/build.xml

init:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin
    [mkdir] Created dir: /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/dist

compile_server:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO
     [copy] Copying 1 file to /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO
     [copy] Copying /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/resources/serverresources/server.properties to /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO/server.properties

init:

compile_common_server:
    [javac] Compiling 3 source files to /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO

init:

compile_database_api:
    [javac] Compiling 1 source file to /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO
    [javac] Compiling 5 source files to /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO

jar_server:
      [jar] Building jar: /Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/dist/server.jar

run_server:
     [java] Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: /ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO/server.properties (No such file or directory)
     [java]     at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
     [java]     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:146)
     [java]     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:101)
     [java]     at ch.ethz.rama.asl.server.MessageServer.main(Unknown Source)
     [java] Java Result: 1

EDIT :

Now it suddenly seems to copy files, only thing is my server program cannot find the properties file,even tought its in the same directory, what should I do?

The Ant script copies server.properties to...

/Users/ramapriyasridharan/Downloads/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO/server.properties

...but the Java program launched in the run_server target is looking for the file at...

/ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO/server.properties

To fix this, either:

  • <copy> in the Ant script needs to copy server.properties to /ClientServerNio/bin/serverNIO
  • MessageServer.main needs to change so it looks for server.properties under /Users/ramapriyasridharan
