Currently a <script> task could not easily accept a <fileset> as other tasks
do (as embedded sub elements). I'm sure there is some roundabout trickery
that could reference a fileset defined elsewhere, but nothing that provides
a pluggable framework such that <script> could cleanly take a <fileset> (or
a set of filesets, attributes, etc) and get the same introspection mechanism
invoked that a regular Java developed task enjoys. I don't think I'm
missing some wonderfully elegant way to accomplish this currently, but if I
am I'd love to be enlightened as to how.
Am I at least in the same ballpark as the ideas being discussed here?

Why do you think it does not? Can you be more specific?
JA
