Unfortunately, my original question (how do you get a <dirset> of directories based on the presence of a file (or other directory) within that directory?) still stands.
I'm afraid the answer is that you need a new selector, a combination of a type selector and a filename selector. It should be fairly straightforward, though. A simple version (assuming you are using the new custom mechanism in 1.6 Beta) would look something like this:
<fileset dir="src">
<parentdir file="*.java" />
</fileset>and the selector code something like:
public boolean isSelected(File basedir, String filename,
File file) {
validate();
if (file.isDirectory()) {
String[] filelist = file.list();
for (int i = 0; i < filelist.length; i++) {
if (SelectorUtils.match(filelist[i], targetfile)) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}I haven't compiled this but it should give you an idea. If you wanted to play around with patterns that contained "**" (so that you get ancestor directories rather than just parents) you would substitute "match()" with "matchPath()".
See http://ant.apache.org/manual-1.6beta/CoreTypes/selectors-program.html and http://ant.apache.org/manual-1.6beta/CoreTypes/custom-programming.html#customselectors for more instructions on how to write a custom selector and use it in your build scripts.
