The documentation is your friend.

Check out the the <basename> ant task
   http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/basename.html

Your life might, or might not, be made easier by using the 'update' 
paramter of the <jar> task.
    http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/jar.html

You might have to split the actions out into a separate target and 
invoke that with <antcall>.
