I had a case where I needed to run a Java program on a set of files. I used the apply task for that, but I don't know if this matches your requirements exactly. As far as I understood it, this will execute the a command once for each file in the fileset. It doesnt appear that the java task takes a fileset as an argument. Subsidiary question : > Is there a limit to the length of the string given as argument to a java > command ? Not in Java per se I think, but Windows has a limit on how long a command line can be.
