What is the opinion on this task? I like it and had begun writing a similar task before, but then this dropped from the sky! Personally I'd prefer to see the task begin referred to as "concat" or the full "concatenate" since "cat" seems a bit abstract and too *nix like for me, but otherwise no real complaints.
I've started playing with the code to make it Java 1.1 friendly (done) and add some support for ordering the the files in the concatenation - aiming for attributes; order="none|name|path|length|date" (i.e. any metric I could find in the File object!) and ascending="true|false" (work in progress). Any thoughts? are thought crimes afoot? One other thought I had was whether ordering functionality should be lumped in with all filesets so that other tasks could take advantage of ordering... would this be useful to anyone?
