/*
Speaking of FileSet, is it just me who's having trouble doing a set
union on FileSets?  I'd have expected something like

<fileset id="set1" dir="/tmp"><include name="aFile"></fileset>
<fileset id="set2" dir="/etc"><include name="passwd"></fileset>
<fileset id="set3">
  <include refid="set1"/>
  <include refid="set2"/>
</fileset>

to give me a FileSet with two files in it, but it's not even legal,
and I have yet to find a legal way to do it.  Is it just that the
internal representation of FileSet is not compatible with that kind of
operation?
*/

that can be achieved via resource collections in ant 1.7

i didn't use ant 1.7 yet, but you can do things like =

<!-- subtract the intersection -->
<difference id="foobar">
 <fileset refid="yourfileset_1" />    
 <fileset refid="yourfileset_2" />
</difference>

and also count for further math operations =

<resourcecount property="count.foo">
 <fileset refid="foo" />
</resourcecount>

see =
