This should already be possible using IntrospectionHelper, something
like
Task t = project.createTask("zip");
IntrospectionHelper ih = IntrospectionHelper.getHelper(t.getClass());
ih.setAttribute(project, t, "whenempty", "ignore");
ih.setAttribute(project, t, "zipfile",
ProjectHelper.replaceProperties(project,
"${foo}/foo.zip",
project.getProperties());
Object fileset = ih.createElement(t, "fileset");
IntrospectionHelper ih2 = IntrospectionHelper.getHelper(fileset.getClass());
ih2.setAttribute(project, fileset, "dir", "src");
t.execute();
should work.
This is just saying, that it is possible right now, not that some
syntactic sugar like IndirectTask or IndirectElement wouldn't be nice.
