As I was thinking about a similar thing for FileSet (so that ZipFileSet could just return ZipEntries ...) we should get something like this together - an Ant File abstraction. >>Getting my act together ;-): I'd prefer if we could first figure out >>how we want to support the mechanism you tackle with your proposal >>in Ant2 - then you adapt your proposal to get as close to the way >>Ant2 is supposed to work as possible and we commit it in the 1.x >>branch. >> >>Would that work for you? >> > > Hmmm, not a bad approach really.
