I think there are perfectly valid String versions for these things:
- FileSet.toString() should return the white space separated list of files
like you would use in the <arg line="..."> of <exec>.
- Path.toString() should return the path in the correct format for the OS.
Actually, given a FileSet, fs, and a Path, p, one should be able to say:
<exec>
<env name="CLASSPATH" value="${p}" />
<arg line="cat ${fs}" />
</exec>
This should generate something that is reasonable.
About AntStructure, well souldn't it generate the DTD as the string?
It is just like trying to write the DTD into a StringBuffer.
