Hi John, I never noticed the option of <srcFiles> as against <fileset>
My understanding is the list of files specified using <srcFiles> are executed in the order they are specified whereas it is not so in the case of <fileset>(this is when orderFile attribute is not specified). Am I wrong? Thanks for the reply, Chris.
