struct
├── a
│   └── file_a.txt
├── b
│   └── file_b.txt
└── c
    └── file_c.txt

Create jar

jar cf struct.jar ./struct

Extract dir

jar xf struct.jar struct/a

After file is extracted you can do whatever you like:

jar xf struct.jar struct/a
cp -r struct/a /tmp/environment

From what I understand you want to copy a directory in a shell,

so you type

cp -R /path/to/directory /path/to/other/location/
