The problem here, Antoine, is that the
ResourceCollection idiom contains such niceties as
<union>, <intersect>, <difference>, <restrict>, and
<sort>. Supporting these is the aim, IMHO, of adding
ResourceCollection support to file-only tasks (which
we have done in several cases now).

Jan suggested URLs. Alternatively, I imagine it would
be small work for Mario I. to provide in a future
release (1.1 probably as I think he's about to release
a 1.0) of commons-vfs a means to adapt his FileObjects
to Ant Resources, or I can collaborate with him on
this. But I haven't opened up that dialogue yet.
This would duplicate some of our own work but would
mean that we didn't have to think about certain
adaptations e.g. FTP any further.

Hmm... since we eat our own dog food in terms of our
ClassLoader (don't we?) seems like it would be fairly
easy to extend it thus.
