Gilbert, are you basically saying you need all the files from a certain directory that are NOT already in the path you've constructed? In Ant 1.7, you would/could/should do this:
<fileset id="bla_jars" dir="y:/bla" includes="**/*.jar" /> <path id="matched_jars" path="${matches}" /> <!-- find all files in bla and ${matches} --> <intersect id="matched_bla"> <fileset refid="bla_jars" /> <path refid="matched_jars" /> </intersect> <!-- subtract the intersection --> <difference id="unmatched_bla"> <fileset refid="bla_jars" /> <intersect refid="matched_bla" /> </difference> This is longer than it has to be. I assumed that ${matches} might contain files not in the bla directory. If you know that ${matches} contains only members of bla, you could just use the <difference> without the prior <intersect>. Also note that wherever refids were used I used the original type of the resource collection, because I knew what it was. You can and may wish to simply use the <resources refid="" /> construct which is useful when you do not know or care about the concrete collection type.
