Re: combining fileset's

[Glen]

Your example will do wonderfully.  Very sheek and elegant thank you very 
much....

Said another way I have enough complexity in my development projects no 
need to add more... 

thanks again,

Unless your actual needs are much more complicated

get too deep into coding your own selector.

I think I know what you are saying now.  I have
found this page on 
programming custom selectors

   

http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/selectors-program.html
 

Which looks fairly straightforward.  I am starting
to code it now...
Thanks :-)

Matt I am intrigued could you elaborate or give an
     

example?
   

Are you suggesting I should create a custom
     

selector that can take a 
   

reference to another fileset?

Or is what I am trying to do (combine fileset A
     

and fileset b into 
   

fileset C) possible with the selector's that come
     

with 1.6 ?

Use selectors in Ant 1.6.0.

I am wondering if there is an easier way to do
something.  I have several different tasks each
         

requiring a slightly
   

different classpath or fileset.  I have modified
         

my build.xml so 
   

that I am
sharing this information as much as possible. 
         

You know if I add
   

a jar I only have to add it in one place in the
         

build.xml and all the
   

proper places pick up the appropriate reference.

My solution has been to define pattern sets,
         

then
   

file sets using those pattern sets, and then a
         

classpath from the file
   

sets (the code is at the bottom).  It works
         

great but I am a programmer
   

and I like to fiddle so here is what I am
         

asking.
   

Are there any ways to use just filesets and NO
pattern sets.  Ultimately I would like to be
         

able to combine to 
   

filesets say
like so...
     <fileset id="a"
file="./myproject/xyzpdq..jar"  />
            <fileset id="b"
         

dir="./myproject/redist/" />
   

    <fileset id="c" dir="./myproject/" >
          <fileset refid="a" />
          <fileset refid="b" />
    </fileset>      
This would greatly simplify the script at the
         

end
   

because I currently have to create a pattern set
         

and a file set for 
   

each
bit I need.  I am wondering if anyone has some
         

clever recommendations
   

since I can't do what I just laid out (at least
         

as far as I know)...
   

At least the when we add a jar now the build
         

fails
   

once then we add the jar to the build.xml where
         

as before it would fail
   

several times in a row each time showing a new
         

place that needed the
   

jar referenced LOL
