Ant copy file to leaf directory

I'm trying to use Apache Commons Configuration and using ant for my build tool. I have one namespaced class, and when ant builds it of course sub-directories. I need to put my .xml configuration file in the leaf directory (ie: ${build}/com/cross/xxx/). Is there an automated way to do this, or do I just manually configure the path of the leaf folder?

Check out the Ant copy task. You'll want to do something like this (assuming a name config.xml for your XML config file):

<copy file="config.xml" todir="${build}/com/cross/xxx/" preservelastmodified="true"/>

Of course, preservelastmodified is optional. The copy task is very powerful; above is the simplest possible sample of what it can do.

You would store your xml in the required directory in your project, either with the source file or prefereably in a separate tree eg. resources/com/cross/xxx And simply copy the entire directory tree to your build directory
