Ant: How to execute a command for each file in directory?

by

Use the <apply> task.

It executes a command once for each file. Specify the files by means of filesets or any other resource. <apply> is built-in; no additional dependency needed; no custom task implementation needed.

It’s also possible to run the command only once, appending all files as arguments in one go. Use the parallel attribute to switch the behaviour.

Sorry for being late a year.
