http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7324 uptodate or fileset task allow combining of filesets Summary: uptodate or fileset task allow combining of filesets Product: Ant Version: 1.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to suggest an enhancement to the Uptodate task (and Condition/uptodate). Maybe even more generally to the Fileset task. I tried to include multiple srcfiles filesets, but the task only seemed to use the first one. It didn't complain about the others, but it also didn't seem to use them. While it would be nice if it errored out when finding more, it would be much more useful if it used all filesets specified. A better generalization would be to allow multiple filesets to be combined into a single fileset. Or allow a fileset to contain at least one level of filesets. This would be useful if I wanted to exclude **test.java, but wanted to include Retest.java (ok, this example is a bit contrived). Another example would be wanting to exclude server/**, but wanting to include server/Locator.java. Sure, every include file could be specified, but that seems likely to make an uglier build file. Here is how it has to be done now: <fileset dir="${classes.dir}"> <patternset refid="production.classes.patternset"/> <exclude name="**/server/**"/> </fileset> <fileset dir="${classes.dir}"> <include name="**/server/Locator.class"/> </fileset> But, this doesn't work in places like the uptodate task which only take one fileset. Here is an example of what would be nice to check with the uptodate check: <property name="build.dir" value="./build" /> <property name="classes.dir" value="${build.dir}/classes" /> <property name="config.dir" value="./config" /> <uptodate property="jar.required" > <srcfiles dir= "${classes.dir}" includes="**/*.java"/> <srcfiles dir= "${config.dir}" includes="Manifest.txt"/> <mapper type="merge" to="${build.dir}/application.jar"/> </uptodate> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
