the task given in the rely generates a:

ditto the following example taken from ant.apache.org/manual/using.html:

      <pathelement location="classes"/>

Like I said: it should NOT be this hard.

You could use PathConvert to convert your fileset into a string with the list of files. You will probably want to set pathsep=" " and use arg line="${fileslist}".

So, you have:
<pathconvert pathsep=" " property="fileslist">
   <fileset dir="${workingdir} includes="*.java"/>
</pathconvert>



I haven't tried it, but it should work.

Hi,

Please forgive my stupidity, but I have spent hours on this ...

Given the following Unix/Linux command line:

         java  Test.Main  -all  *.txt

I wrote the following ant task:



Test.Main reports it cannot find file *.java.

So I replaced the 2nd arg with a .
The ant java task reports that it does not accept 's.

Similarly, I tried nesting a fileset within an arg.  Illegal.

I checked the O'Reilly Ant book and ant.apache.org
without finidng a solution.
I am clearly missing something.  It should not be this hard.

Thanks,
Bob
