Use of zipfileset

Use of zipfileset

Hi

I have to create a jar that includes other external jars. I want those
external jars to be present in the classpath.
For this I am using the <zipfileset> task. But the problem with the
'src' attribute of <zipfileset> is that I can mention just one jar in
the src attribute. But I have to include jars from a "lib" directory,
and src attribute does not take **/*.jar.

The script I have written is

<project name="myProject" default="main" basedir=".">
   <target name="main">
       <jar destfile="myProject.jar">
    <!--PROBLEM HERE :: In the src attribute I want to
include multiple jars-->
           <zipfileset src="myOwnJar.jar"/>
           <manifest>
               <attribute name="Built-By" value="${user.name}"/>
               <attribute name="Main-Class"
value="com.mycompany.gui.Main"/>
           </manifest>
       </jar>
   </target>
</project>

The lib folder has all the jars and I want to include those jars. Is
there any other way of doing this.
I tried with the <zipfileset> dir attribute but that includes the jar
and the jar is not present in the classpath.
