What is the difference in ant syntax

[Mikael Petterson]

Hi,

I have came across the following ant syntax:

<copy todir="${tmp.src.dir}">
                        <fileset dir="${src.dir}">
                                <include name="**/src" />
                                <include name="**/*.java" />
                                <exclude name="**/link/**" />
                                <exclude name="**/tb/**" />
                        </fileset>
                </copy>

Then in the compile target there is the following:

<path id="source.path">
                        <dirset dir="${tmp.src.dir}">
                                <include name="**/src" />
                                <exclude name="**/Test/**" />
                        </dirset>

</path>

<property name="src" refid="source.path" />

Then in the compile target ( not including all attributes):

<javac srcdir="${src}" sourcepathref="source.path">
        <include name="**/*.java" />
        <exclude name="**/link/**" />
</javac>


Do I not get the same files compiled when using this ( I skip the move)?

<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" sourcepathref="">
        <include name="**/src" />
        <include name="**/*.java" />
        <exclude name="**/link/**" />
        <exclude name="**/tb/**" />
        <exclude name="**/Test/**" />
</javac>


Br,
