<target name="compile" depends="copyProps, -init">
  <javac srcdir="${project.src}"
     destdir="${project.classes}" classpath="...">
</target>

<target name="copyProps" depends="-init">
  <copy todir="${project.classes}">
     <fileset dir="${project.src}">
        <include name="**/*.properties">
     </fileset>
  </copy>  
</target>

It is a useful exercise :)) One of my very first
errors when I started mastering Ant was that in
compile target I did an <antcall> to copyProps instead
of depending on it. As the build xml grew bigger, it
ended to copying the properties file several times due
to poor design and lots of <antcall>s.
It is also worth noting that when an i18n'ed
application is developed copyProps target is a possble
place for doing <native2ascii> transformation.
