No, use a nested fileset and copy. The files you want to copy can be
specified in a patternset (and later be reused in a classpath as
well).

<patternset id="myfiles">
  <include name="**/file1.jar" />
  <include name="**/file2.jar" />
</patternset>

<target ...>
  <copy todir="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/lib">
    <fileset dir="lib">
      <patternset refid="myfiles" />
    </fileset>
  </copy>
</target>

<target ...>
  <java ...>
    <classpath>
      <pathelement ... />
      <fileset dir="lib">
        <patternset refid="myfiles" />
      </fileset>
    </classpath>
  </copy>
</target>

Hope this helps
