Re: Ant task and dirset/fileset

[Gus Heck]

Ok I searched bugzilla and subant appears exactly once... but it says it 
is committed. Problem is I don't see it in the manual, where can I get 
some doc for it? (or do I need to go find that link to the xdocs that I 
forgot to bookmark?)

Yes ;-) Me, and other people too. There is in Ant's BugZilla one task called
<subant> that was recently added to the HEAD (slightly modified) on an
experimental basis, and there's also a patch to <ant> along the same lines.
There has been quite a bit of discussion about both (one vs. the other even)
on ant-dev as well. You should look it all up.
As the original author and user of <subant>, I can tell you it's working
just fine for me. Here's one of my build files, for example. Should be
familiar to Makefile writers (it does build C++ libraries after all ;-)

Subject: Ant task and dirset/fileset

Has anyone ever thought about or tried to make the ant task accept a 
fileset or dirset? I have a use for such functionality but, before I go 
writing myself a custom version, or writing a patch, I thought I might 
ask if this has been tried, is being tried, or has be explicitly decided 
against?
