using javac task with a fileset

I know that javac only takes a patternset as a nested element. However, I have a need to use a fileset with javac. For example, I have defined a thusly: And this is exactly the "set" of files I would like to compile: But, I cannot do (directly):

modified xmlproperty

I've written a modified version of the XmlProperty task with the following additional behavior: + support for some "semantic" attributes: location, refid, id attributes can be used in the XML file, with roughly the same meaning as with tasks in a build file. + support for ${..} dereferencing of

[FIX?] Re: Bug in Ant? - More information (examined source and modified)

I think I have come up with a way to fix things although it is more of a kludge in my book. I would appreciate it if others could check the effect this has on their code and make sure it does not have any adverse effect!! I made the modifications to the 1.5.1 downloadable from ant's website -

RE: Bug in Ant? - More information (examined source and modified)

Trying to track down this problem, I modified Target.java with System.err statements to check variable types. Basically, if I run the task directly, o is an instance of Task but if I run utilities-build via antcall, my AntTask is no longer a 'Task' but a RuntimeConfigurable. Does anyone have

I am still green but I'd be willing to bet that the problem lies with your antcalls and not with the filters. John-Mason Shackelford Software Developer NCS Pearson - Measurement Services 2510 North Dodge St. Iowa City, IA 52245 319-354-9200x6214 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- F

I've written a couple of filters as well and I have problems with running out of memory. However, it may be a problem with instead. I make aprox. 20 calls to to run a target that uses filters to parse specialized portions of the javadoc in a .java file into an .html file. I use to do this pars

Bug in Ant? Custom tasks aren't executed (set methods are called though) only when "antcall" is used.

Hello,   I am having a problem with Ant that has me slightly baffled and very frustrated. It seems my custom ant tasks will not be run if they are inside an ant target called via "antcall". The set properties will however be called. For instance, in the code below, the setMessage and setFi
