Unfortunately, that would not work with Ant 1.3. With this change, the build.xml file will work with both 1.3 and 1.4. Incompatible changes should be minimized - this fix preserve backward compat, and I don't think the "price" is too big. My "scratch" is very simple - we have a build.xml file using <war>, and everyone is using ant1.3 - the current release. It's very painfull to switch back and forth - I'm using the current ant. Of course, when we release ant1.4, this will be painfull to a lot of people who will have to update their build.xml files. There is also a comment in ZipFileTest: * At present, ZipFileSets are not surfaced in the public API. FileSets * nested in a Zip task are instantiated as ZipFileSets, and their attributes * are only recognized in the context of the the Zip task. * It is not possible to define a ZipFileSet outside of the Zip task and * refer to it via a refid. However a standard FileSet may be included by * reference in the Zip task, and attributes in the refering ZipFileSet * can augment FileSet definition. Costin
