I agree to the "as we currently do" part. I'd prefer addPrefixedfileset(PrefixedFileSet) and addFileset(FileSet) to remove the confusion. Switching to PrefixedFileSet exclusively is something you cannot do (at least not for Ant 1.x) as it would break tons of builds. >> We should not exclude META-INF files altogether. Actually I talked to Patrick and Matthew about these issues back in October. We agreed (IIRC) that the user should explicitely state which MANIFEST.MF to use, to not merge in signatures at all and to allow for all other content in META-INF (unless it was a duplicate which would always be an error). All that was missing was somebody who had the time to implement it. Stefan
