that would GREATLY complicate the javac task to a form where it would have to by necessity make multiple calls to the javac executable. you're looking for something that would work as if javac supported this form: javac -sourcepath foo a.java c.java -sourcepath bar b.java and that's not how it works. by asking ant to support fileset, you're asking ant's javac to eventually come up with javac -sourcepath foo a.java c.java javac -sourcepath bar b.java but if there are dependencies for b.java to need a.java and a.java is also in the bar path, a.java in bar will still be compiled (yeilding unnecessary multiple compilation which i imply you're trying to get rid of). i still stand by my first answer -- the fact that the duplicate file error is showing up is demonstrating that you are doing something wrong by having the duplicate files in the system in the first place. find some way ditch the duplicates. every other possible way of handling this is such a kluge and hack to my mind as to make me almost feel disguisted.
