Hi,
The 'includes' attribute is used to select files from under srcdir. For
example, in your case,
<javac
srcdir="~/dev/test/servlets/src/classes"
includes="EJB*">
would pick up ~/dev/test/servlets/src/classes/EJBClientServlet.java. Have a
read of the "Concepts and Types" section of the manual (under "Built-in
Tasks") for more info.
Looks like you simply need to add a second srcdir to the <javac> task:
<javac destdir="..." classpath="...">
<src location="${src.home}"/>
<src location="~/dev/examples"/>
</javac>
