Thanks for the pointer ref <fileset>
I'm not sure that merging the two builds is possible for various reasons.
Technically, yes; but for "security reasons", no.
Also, I'd really like it so that I don't have to <subant> (or <ant> or
<antcall> or whetever) into the service-specific scripts, because there are
(will be) a large number of touch points, and I don't want to have to go and
find each of them whenever a new service is added. As I have it now, adding
a new service is as simple as dropping in a new service descriptor.
Cheers,
Danny.
