I am trying to create a rpm package using ant task for that I need to create specfile which will have all the file names in the following format

%attr(0755, root, root) %dir dir1
%attr(0755, root, root) %dir dir1/dir2
%attr(0755, root, root) %dir dir1/dir2/dir3

%attr(0500, root, root) dir1/file1
%attr(0500, root, root) dir1/dir2/file1

I have such directory structure created during my build process but using ant I am not able to list all the files and directories which I can then write into my specfile

following is what I have tried to list the files but it does not differentiate between files and directory , moreover I need some way to iterate over the list.

<fileset id="dist.contents" dir="${nativePackageDir}" includes="**"/>                                     |        
        <property name="prop.dist.contents" refid="dist.contents"/>                                               |  <target name="javaobject-library" depends="props">                                                             
        <echo>${prop.dist.contents}</echo>

    You simply have to write in java an ant task implementation, to which you’ll provide as parameters the input directory and the path of the specfile you want to be written.

    I find it better and more manageable to have reusable ant tasks in java, instead of having gigantic ant xml files.
