Ok, given that I convert the dotted-package names into directory-based .java 
filenames....
 What do I do to pass this in as a comma-delimited list of .class names?  I 
still haven't
figured out how to get the FileSet/PatternSet/PathConvert stuff to work for the 
behavior I
mentioned.  I feel like I am just missing something obvious.

By the same token, however, Ant should be able to handle a list of package 
names. It is
the most universal list we could have for java -- especially if we start 
talking about
tasks doing reflection.  I should be able to pass a list of package names off 
to some task
-- but it seems that we are not supposed to use any current structures to hold 
package
names.

I mean, if you can provide me the correct way to do it with the current 
codebase, great --
I will change it and pass it off to management....  But if Ant could handle 
package names,
this would have been done in a few minutes instead of a couple weeks.

BTW: Thanks for the replies,
Malachi
