What makes you think I think that? I certainly never said I did, nor did I say that <path>'s can't include files -- they just need files that are *meaningful* to something that's asking for a path-type element. If the path-type element is specifying a classpath, then the <path> being referenced should include names of directories where class files can be found and/or names of archive-type files where class files can be found, because that's what's meaningful in a classpath. If the path-type element is specifying directories in which to search for source files, such as the <src> element of <javac>, then the <path> being referenced should only include names of directories, since that's what's meaningful to it. > As I told you I want to place all the source file patterns at one place. > My build file contains many targets for compiling different sets of > source files.
