Re: [nant-dev] Fileset references

I agree - I've been using text files and includesList (just a raw list of asis files) for now, but I think it would be cool to include a build file that had a fileset definition with the set of files you wanted - this could be included at the top of each build file. It should also increase performance for recursive fileset definitions used over and over.

So the two valid forms would be:

<!-- stuff to do -->

2.)
<foreach ...>
<in/>
<do>

</>
</>



What I would love to see is:

<fileset ID="foo" >
  <include ......
</fileset>

<attrib readOnly="false">
 <fileset ref="foo" />
</attrib>

<foreach ...type="FileSet" ref="foo">
       <do>
       <!--Stuff to do -->
       </>
</>

in addition to the more verbose sorts...
<foreach ...>
       <in>
         <fileset ref="foo" />
         <fileset>
            ....
         </fileset>
       </in>
       <do>
       <!--Stuff to do -->
       </>
</>

Fileset references are something ant had a long time ago and would really
reduce the size of my build files tremendously.
