Is there a way to loop over files in ant without using ant-contrib?

I know ant-contrib has a for loop, but I'd rather avoid adding it to my project unless necessary. It feels like I'm missing something obvious here. I just want to execute a task for a lot of files.

+1  A: 

If you are trying to run an external program on a bunch of files take a look at Ant's apply task.
