Question

My Question is: How am i able to put files in a subdirectory into my jar via ant? Right now my Code is:

<jar destfile="${dist.dir}\wo42.jar" basedir="bin">
<manifest>
    <attribute name="Main-Class" value="org.alternativedev.wo42.App" />
    <attribute name="Class-Path" value="lib" />
</manifest>
<zipgroupfileset dir="lib/." excludes="natives/*" />
<fileset dir="data/." includes="." />

It creates a structure like

ROOT-Jar
-org
--bla
-filefromdata1
-filefromdata2

But it should be

ROOT-Jar
-org
--bla
-data
--filefromdata1
--filefromdata2

Do You know what I mean?

Change the last line to

<fileset dir="." includes="data/**" />

No need to copy files around.

An alternative way (which is useful if you want to have the directory in the archive to have a different name) would be

<zipfileset dir="data" includes="." prefix="folder-name-in-jar"/>
