[Hibernate-devel] Building with ant

[Anton v. S. <an...@ap...>]

This is just an idle question:

When I use build.xml to build the "dist" target, the resulting .jar ends up
containing a copy of hibernate.properties, I assume because of the rule
which reads <include name="**/*.properties"/>.

However, the distribution jars on SourceForge don't contain
hibernate.properties.  Are they built some other way?

The reason I noticed this is that after switching to calling
buildSessionFactory() with no arguments, when hibernate.properties is in the
jar, it is loaded by default.  When I got a message about a missing
com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver, I knew something was wrong, since I don't
use DB2...  Removing the file from the jar allows my own external properties
file to be loaded.

Not a problem, I'm just wondering what secret technique is being used to
build the distribution jars.
