Not sure if this is the right course of action, but take a look at the source for the <javac> task, Javac.java. In particular look at the scanDir method. I think this might be leveraged to perform what you're looking for. Unfortunately, it does not set any property, but I'm sure you can ,make it do so, or perhaps create a new task that can do this.

Hi, I'ld quite like to have a target which simply produces a count of the number of .java files in my project. Ideally, this would be a simple 'count' task which takes a fileset,patternset or something similar to the javac task and then sets a property value to the result. I'ld like then to be able to echo out some text displaying this value. The echo requirement is because I have a large build involving many subprojects and generally run ant with the -quiet option, to provide neater more compact output. I've seen previous posts which have found a solution using OS specific calls but I'm not going to go down that route. Any ideas ?
