Hello,

converting our build from ant to gradle, I currently fail in creating a jar.  
Say, we have folders source1 and source2, both contain xml, xsd and class files.  
In the resulting jar the following files should be contained:

```
source1/**/*.xml
source1/**/*.xsd
source2/**/*.class

```

I tried the following:

```gradle
    task createJar(type: Jar){
        from {
            files("source1")
            include " **/*.xml", "** /*xsd"
        }
        from {
            files("source2")
            include "**/*.class"
        }
        archiveName = "myJar.jar"
    }
```

and fail:  
Circular dependency between the following tasks:  
:createJar  
— :createJar (\*)

Can someone help me?

Thanks  
Jan
