Question

How can I exclude the archive name from the file hierarchy after an ant unzip task?

For example, once ant’s run the unzip task in the folder C:\temp, I want all the files from the archive archive, but instead I get C:\temp\t\file.tmp.

Can I effectively exclude the base directory inside the archive?

Use a mapper specify how the files should look in the destination directory:

<unzip src="t.zip" dest="temp">
    <globmapper from="t/*" to="*"/>
</unzip>
