We could mitigate the cost by making the ID optional. That is, if they don't set an ID on an element, don't add it to the collection. >I admit I have no clue as to what Ant does in this > context, though.... Ant's project class maintains a hashtable that is used to store references (simple name to object mapping). Only fileset-y type things are referenceable, I think (FileSets, DirSets, FileLists, etc). --- Tomas Restrepo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I was thinking about the id'ed FileSet's.
