Hard to tell. I can't see any obvious mistakes. All the examples here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/fileset.html use: <include name="**/*.jar"/> instead of just "*.jar" as you have, but what you have looks like it should be ok so long as the .jar files are directly inside \WebContent\WEB-INF\classes.
