No, you do not. The "files" property is for source files only, meaning 
files that are part of your project and are not being produced by any 
rule or transformer.

And why do you think that is a problem? If you give your output artifact 
the "cpp" tag, it will be considered for building, just like e.g. 
moc_*.cpp files are -- those do not appear in any "files" list either.
