I tried that but then, copy (verbose="true") tells me something like:

So it means copy actually tried to copy the files over
themselves ? It
did not take its "todir" attribute into account ?
Yes, actually this is the surprising behavior if you sources are
absolute paths. I forgot about that myself, sorry. See my other post
about using mappers to turn the paths into relative paths again.
Note that if your sources are relative paths to begin with, you have
other options. Most simply and backward-compatibly if the list is in
a line-delimited file you can supply that file to <fileset>'s
includesfile attribute. If for the sake of argument your list was
in, say, a property or read from a url, and you are simply too
stubborn or resource-constrained to write the includesfile to the
filesystem, you could use a combination of the <tokens>
resourcecollection, antcontrib <for>, and the brand-spanking-new
<augment> task to loop over the lines (or other recognizable tokens)
of your list and add each as a separate include to your fileset.
Ain't that slick? ;P
