http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18128 Dependset srcfileset does not handle absolute path ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-19 22:44 ------- I have just tried an experiment on my dos box: <project name="fileset" default="t"> <target name="t"> <mkdir dir="e:\test"/> <touch file="e:\test\a.b"/> <fileset id="f1" dir="e:/" includes="test\a.b"/> <pathconvert targetos="windows" property="p1" refid="f1"/> <echo message="p1 is ${p1}"/> <fileset id="f2" dir="e:\" includes="\test\a.b"/> <pathconvert targetos="windows" property="p2" refid="f2"/> <echo message="p2 is ${p2}"/> <fileset id="f3" dir="e:" includes="\test\a.b"/> <pathconvert targetos="windows" property="p3" refid="f3"/> <echo message="p3 is ${p3}"/> <fileset id="f4" dir="e:" includes="test\a.b"/> <pathconvert targetos="windows" property="p4" refid="f4"/> <echo message="p4 is ${p4}"/> </target> </project> This gives the following result: Buildfile: c:\cygwin\home\peter\learning\fileset\build.xml t: p1 is E:\test\a.b p2 is p3 is p4 is E:\test\a.b The manual page on fileset contains the following: "FileSets are groups of files. These files can be found in a directory tree starting in a base directory" As windows has muliple roots and one can only specify one root to a fileset, I can conclude that is it impossible to use fileset in the manner you are trying to use it. Fileset in this case is working as defined and this report is not a bug - but maybe is an enhancement request.
