Ok, I have coded ant-type magic attribute over lunch. <target name="run" depends="init"> <typedef name="myfileset" classname="MyFileSet" classpath="classes"/> <mkdir dir="output"/> <copy todir="output"> <fileset ant-type="myfileset" dir="src" newattribute="Hi"/> </copy> </target>
I will update Patch 19446 over the weekend with the changes. Peter.
