copy directory
Does below copy the files along with directory?
<copy todir="${dir}">
<fileset dir="${tools.dir}/install/**">
<fileset dir="${tools.dir}/st/*">
What's the difference between ** and just *? Would first one copy
along with directory and the second one only individual files?

Thanks.
So if I say my/dir/** then "dir" is recursively copied to the
destination and when I say my/dir/* then only files under dir are
copied to the destination but not the "dir" itself.
I'll try it out.

AW: copy directory
Posted by Ja...@rzf.fin-nrw.de.
** is a deep copy. All nested directories are copied too.
* copies all files in that directory.
After a trailing slash is automatically a ** added.
my/dir/*.txt --> copies my/dir/a.txt, my/dir/b.txt, ...
my/**/*.txt --> copies all text files somewhere under 'my'
my/** --> copies all files under 'my'
my/ --> same as my/**
