What is the simplest way to move everything out of a target directory? I have this basedir/parentdir/<subdir> . I have many different <subdir> . I need to move them out into the same level as parentdir so that it becomes basedir/<subdir> . Now, each <subdir> contains a deep tree of many other subdirectories and files, including empty subdirectories. I've tried the following: <move todir="basedir"> <fileset dir="parentdir"> <include name="**/*.*" /> </fileset> </move> That failed to move the empty directories - meaning after the move, all the <subdir> are missing their empty subdirectories. "move" supposedly copies emptysubdirectories by default, so I tried the following next: <move todir="basedir"> <fileset dir="parentdir"> <include name="**/*" /> <include name="**/*.*" /> </fileset> </move> While I did manage to move the empty subdirectories, the strange thing is that all the immediate subdirectories of all the <subdir> gets copied into basedir . Every <subdir> has src , test , and build . These are now sitting in basedir as well as in their original moved <subdir> . I'm positive I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what. Am I approaching things the wrong way?
