Reverse the mapper "from" and "to" attributes.
What you are asking for in your fileset is all of the files in the
${src.dir} that are named "sample.*" and that have a matching "*" file.
What you want to be asking for is all the files named "*" for which there
is a matching "sample.*". Change the mapper to:
<mapper type="glob" from="*" to="sample.* />
and you will have better luck.
I'd also recommend an exclude of "sample.*" thrown in there so you aren't
checking for the existence of "sample.sample.my.properties" or similar. Not
necessary, but cleaner in understanding what the task is doing and a trifle
more efficient. It would also have been clearer for debugging, as then your
task wouldn't have done anything at all.
