title: Properties file is not available in build
body: <p>I have a spring project in my eclipse and I want add a properties file to it. I added the properties file at path say <code>abc/resources/application.properties</code> and the path is added in classpath. In my application context I added following bean to make properties available in source code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"&gt;
      &lt;property name="location" value="classpath:/application.properties"&gt;&lt;/property&gt;
  &lt;/bean&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and trying to autowire value of properties like as follows:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>@Value("${abc.sender.email}")
  private String senderEmail;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, at the time I start server I am getting error saying properties file doesn't exist. I am using ant for building. Any suggestion would be appreciated</p>
