Ant including both jar files and .class files in d

Question

I have defined a jar task using ant build.xml. I need to bundle all the dependencies into my jar. I don't understant why ant extracts the jars and includes both .jars and .class files into my jar. It unnecessarily increases the size of my jar file. Here is my jar task.

<jar destfile="build/main/ERS2SupportingUtilities.jar">

            <fileset dir="target/classes">
                <exclude name="*.sh"/>
            </fileset>

            <restrict>
             <name name="**/*.class"/>
             <archives>
               <zips>
                 <fileset dir="./src/main/resources/lib" includes="**/*.jar"/> 
               </zips>
             </archives>
            </restrict>

                />
            </manifest>
        </jar>

I have also tried zipgroupfileset but that also is giving the same problem.

EDIT

Apologies for not giving enough info about what I am trying to achieve. I have got an application which I am compilint @ target/classes. I need to package this application including my class files and dependecies into one jar.

Answer 1

 <fileset dir="target/classes">
     <exclude name="*.sh"/>
 </fileset>

includes all files from target/classes which are not shell scripts.

<restrict>
    <name name="**/*.class"/>
    <archives>
         <zips>
             <fileset dir="./src/main/resources/lib" includes="**/*.jar"/> 
          </zips>
     </archives>
</restrict>

It seems like you again include classes and jars here.

If you want only jar change all above to :

<zipfileset dir="./src/main/resources/lib" includes="*.jar"/>
