You can use a pure Ant solution using <fileset> and
<pathconvert>:
<fileset id="jar.files.od" dir="myDir">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<pathconvert refid="jar.files.id"
property="jar.files"/>
<echo file="tempfile">${jar.files}</echo>

Wildcards are expanded by the shell and not by the
unix commands. Usually the commands run with <exec>
and started via java.lang.Runtime.exec() so the shell
is not used, so no wildcards expansion happens.

I believe it must be something like this:
<exec executable="sh">
<arg line="find ${basedir}}/myDir/*.jar"/>
</exec>
Of course it is better to use the pure ant solution.
Anyway, wildcards with <exec> is asked often (so it is
a FAQ candidate) and the last time it was asked was
about a week ago, so please take a look at the
archives for more information.
