http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5035 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-01-07 00:31 ------- I'm not sure I'm following you ;-) If you allow creating such filesets, people will use them in <javac> and <copy> and custom tasks and get NPEs from those tasks, no? The fact is that in Ant a FileSet is not just a set of files, although many tasks treat it as such, but it's more a set of relative filenames, from a given directory. By allowing to have a null directory, you're fundamentally changing the fileset contract. Sure you could change Ant's classes like Javac to refuse such special null dir filesets, but what about tasks outside Ant? This is why I keep on saying this can't be done in a BC friendly way. But I've been wrong many times before ;-) --DD -- 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]
