baseDir :-)

You will need the String-arg setter for that. The File (or Path) -arg
versions simply go through Project#resolveFile.
If you are using typed attribute setters you are all in on Ant's
behavior without any chance to tweak it.
An alternative may be a type of your own with a Project and String-arg
constructor, something like
public class MyFileWrapper {
private final File file;
public MyFileWrapper(Project p, String fileName) {
if ("".equals(fileName)) {
throw new BuildException("file name must not be empty");
}
this.file = p.resolveFile(fileName);
}
public File getFile() {
return file;
}
}
public void setSrcDir(MyFileWrapper w) {
this.srcDir = w.getFile();
}
which may be slightly better.
