well, when i asked "is this working", i was more referring my question to the chap who started this thread. > That is why I asked why you wrote a new taskdef...Ant already provides > directory traversals for about everything. :-) well, i didn't know (and i need to send a quick update to onjava.com before they publish). but the taskdef and article does give what i'd like to think of as a decent introduction to using the Path objects in writing Ant tasks, and supporting multiple ways of setting values (as attributes, sub-elements, or as a reference attribute), plus using the logging states. it still makes a good intro task to the second one (one that's JAXB-specific). if i really wanted to get fancy, i'd have played with the DirectoryScanner and stuff like that, but I understand the java.io.File api a lot better than that stuff, and so will my readers i assume...i also would have ended up duplicating quite a bit of the Javadoc.java code of ant if i had. no worries...
