Not when you understand that the <javac> task "forms an implicit FileSet". Note that for the <javac> task you could never do something like: <javac srcdir="."> <fileset ... uh, dir=".", again? -- oops ... See? The 'srcdir' attribute and/or the nested <src> element is used to specify the directory that would've been specified in a <fileset> 'dir' attribute, thereby making it not only unnecessary but illegal to use a <fileset> to specify the source files, and which is why you only specify <include>/<exclude> (or 'includes[file]'/'excludes[file]') instead.
