Concatenate variable to itself in Ansible

I am trying to concatenate variable to itself in an Ansible playback loop, but I am unable to do it. Might be its simple but unable to achieve this.

What I am trying here. 

- name: all directories
  set_fact: all_dir={{ item }}
  with_items:
    - src/main/java
    - src/main/test
    - src/main/resources

- debug: var=all_dir

Expected Output in all_dir

 src/main/java src/main/test src/main/resources

I tried join . Any suggestion?

join is what you should be using.

 - hosts: 127.0.0.1
   connection: local
   vars:
     dirs:
       - src/main/java
       - src/main/test
       - src/main/resources
     all_dir: "{{ dirs | join(' ') }}"
   tasks:
     - debug: var=all_dir

Or via set_fact:

 - hosts: 127.0.0.1
   connection: local
   vars:
     dirs:
       - src/main/java
       - src/main/test
       - src/main/resources
   tasks:
     - set_fact:
         all_dir: "{{ dirs | join(' ') }}"
     - debug: var=all_dir

TASK: [debug var=all_dir] ***************************************************** 
ok: [127.0.0.1] => {
    "var": {
        "all_dir": "src/main/java src/main/test src/main/resources"
    }
}
