I agree on the first part, I had the same thing (where Ant tells me it's skipping all sorts of non .java files). Adding the include for .java files is easy, but yes, the docs don't reveal this, and you only notice it if you are in verbose mode, but it certain slows things down (if you have a lot of non .java files mixed in).

If this is interpreted as "the default value is **/*.java" then the documentation is not entirely correct. I find it somewhat annoying that <javac> outputs (in verbose mode) lines of the form: Foo.properties skipped - don't know how to handle it for all files with different extension than .java. So to avoid this i set the value to **/*.java. Another question: The behaviour of most Ant tasks when called with a <fileset> not matching any files seems to be to don't do anything. Maybe the tasks should in verbose mode output a message that there is nothing to do. What do you think?
