I already have a addConfiguredFileset(FileSet fs) in
my task (and able to process them correctly as well)
and currently extends from Task instead of
MatchingTask. But does that mean I cannot have an
"includes" attribute on my task and need to rely upon
the explicit nested filesets only ?

Can you share the reasoning behind this opinion ?
Lets say I'm a lazy programmer and dont want to
specify nested elements in my task for only one set of
files that needs to be included. I'd rather provide
the option of specifying "includes" attribute as well.
How do I do that with Task ?
