zip into a top directory

[Amy Roh <am...@apache.org>]

Hi,

Is there a way to specify a top directory when using ant zip task?

For example, if install.home included bin/lib, the following 
dest.zipfile will include bin/lib as top level directories.  I'd like to 
put them into a top parent directory so it's convenient for users 
unzipping the file.

    <zip destfile="${dest.zipfile}"
       basedir="${install.home}/.."
    />

I could always move what's in install.home into a temporary top 
directory to zip it but was wondering if ant zip has an top parent 
directory option I'm not aware of.

Thanks,
Amy

maybe with zipfileset? or you could just tell your users to "unzip -d"
