Enhance the <copy/>-tag to support filesets for both source *and* destination





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-05-17 12:44 -------
I could easily avoid the need, as I can write multiple copy statements.

What I would like to see:
<copy someparam="somevalue">
  <src>
    <fileset dir=".">
        <include name="${copyfilename.file}"/>
    </fileset>
  </src>
  <dest>
     <dirset dir=".">
        <include name="*"/>
     <dirset>
  </dest>
</copy>

The question is; why not?
Maybe not many people need it, but still it's handy and last but not least: it's
consistent. Why am I able to define a nested fileset for the source then? That's
also not really needed, I could also write multiple copy statements for that.

You don't see the need, *except* ....
The latter is just the need. Practical example: you want to keep 2 or more build
output dirs, for some reason.

It just opens up possibilities which will greatly reduce the footprint of the
build.xml file in some cases.
