If things go well, a beta of Ant 1.7 will be available on our Web
Site for download on Monday. It will contain the docu.

Hi Antoine,
This is great news! Is there a place where I can read up on these
Resource Collections?
Thanks,

Betreff: RE: Groups of filesets
Hmmm, that means we might need to keep a 'base' property for the
files
in a set so we know how to find the file via absolute pathname but
sometimes need to work with the relative pathname. I bit tricky....

Subject: Re: Groups of filesets
Not sure if arithmetics would help me. I'm dependent on the actual
grouping, i.e. the fact that some files reside under 'src1' and
others
under 'src2' and that this grouping is maintained when the jar is
created.
Assume the following layout:
src1/org/foo/misc/a.class
src2/org/foo/util/b.class
Now, given my original example, I'd like a jar that contains:
org/foo/misc/a.class
org/foo/util/b.class
I.e., the knowledge that src1 and src2 are 'dir' entries that will
replace the 'basedir' in the jar task as it peruses the filesets,
one at
a time, must be preserved. Merging filesets won't do since that
would
clobber that information.

Means a set plus another set is a new set. You could this way
add, subtract and whatever you like with filesets without having
to modify any of the tasks.
For a beginning, a fileset could support the nested element
fileset, which performs like a merge by default.

Subject: Groups of filesets
I'm lacking a <filesetgroup> element that would enable a
referencing a
group of <filesets>. I'm currently faced with the
challenge of passing
multiple filesets from a Java program to an ant-script as
a source for
a jar task. I can't find a good way to do that.
Essentially, this is what I'd like to do:
(the correspondance of this would take place in Java code)
<filesetgroup id="src"/>
<fileset dir="src1"/>
<fileset dir="src2"/>
</filesetgroup>
(and then this would happen in the ant buildscript)
<jar jarfile="some.jar">
<filesetgroup refid="src"/>
</jar>
Several other tasks are subject to the same problem (javac, copy,
etc.).
I found a message from September 2002 in the archives that
expresses the same concern:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ant-user@jakarta.apache.org/
msg20345.html.
Are there any plans to implement this?
Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
