Hello Jan, thank you for your response.
As I don't want to use so many filesets, I changed my task to make the shell as executable and call the command as argument. This approach also works for me. So my task looks like this: <exec executable="sh"> <arg line="-c myCrypt path/to/classes/Class*.class /path/to/otherClasses/ClassImpl*.class"/> </exec> As you've already mentioned the command above is working due to the * resolution.
