If you want to compare two directories using ant, you can do this by
using the present and the different selectors.
<!-- 1 - find files which are in directory bar but not in foo see [1] -->
<fileset dir="bar" id="onlyinbar">
<not>
<present present="srconly" targetdir="foo"/>
</not>
</fileset>
<echo>these files are only in bar : ${toString:onlyinbar}</echo>
<!-- 2 - find files which exist in both bar and foo but are different -->
<fileset dir="foo" id="differentbarfoo">
<different targetdir="bar"
ignoreFileTimes="true"/>
</fileset>
<echo>these files are different in bar compared to foo :
${toString:differentbarfoo}</echo>

I want to check files from 2 directories for filematch, I tried using
checksum task but it does not work for 2 directories. Is it possible to
attain this by using ant alone?
