howto include files only - without dirtree

Hi Ant-users!

I've checked the Directory-based Tasks page and googled the web to find 
any solution to my problem, without success.
E.g. I have a dir tree like this:

/lib
  |- jarlibname1
  |      |-file1.jar
  |      |-file2.jar
  |- jarlibname2
         |-file3.jar
         |-file4.jar

What I like to do is include all the jar files found under /lib so the 
result should look like:

/libsonly
  |- file1.jar
  |- file2.jar
  |- file3.jar
  |- file4.jar

The problem is with the
    dir="lib" includes="**/*.jar"
expression , because this way subdirs also included. A workaround is to 
list all my subdirs as includes, but it's not nice, and not recursively 
automatic.

Is there a solution to this issue?

Thanks,
Thomas Sandor

Hi,

you can check the "flatten" attribute of <copy>, or also the flatten mapper.
