Ah, I missed both of these. And I even open BaseSelector.java... Thanks Peter.
As to Jose Alberto's question, I doing something akin to a present selector, which first creates a map of the target files using directory scanners... Anyways, I've started it as a task for now, even though it really could be a selector. --DD -----Original Message----- From: Peter Reilly To: Ant Developers List Sent: 12/9/2003 4:09 AM Subject: Re: Custom selector how-to...

This has been fixed for ant 1.6, but could be a problem for ant 1.5. (Actually for any object that has got a public setProject(Project), ant 1.6 will attempt to call setProject(Project) on it as soon as possible). >2) Can selectors be id'd/refid'd like tasks/types?
