http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5035 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-01-07 00:12 ------- No, you can't for these tasks that care about the relative paths of files listed by the fileset, like Javac. A fileset can have only a single dir. If you nest other filesets with different dirs, you must choose one of these dirs to be the unique 'main' fileset dir, and doing so you change the relative filename of any files from nested fileset with a different dir. With <javac>, that would result in *inventing* new package names for Java sources. <javac> assumes the relative filename matches the package name to do timestamp checking, and changing the relative filename of a .java file is equivalent for <javac> to re- packaging the .java file, and <javac> will not look in the correct place for the generated .class file, that SUN's Javac outputs in a directory corresponding to the real package name. No, really, it's difficult to explain, as my confusing explanation above demonstrates (!), but you can't have nested filesets because many tasks need the correct relative filename, and we can't change all tasks out there that do. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
