Have you made any progress on the 'Selectors'
functionality implementation?

Yes, I've been plodding along on it. It is starting to shape up now, but it took me a while to wrap my head around all of the suggestions that were offered. In particular, I started hitting my head against Adam's suggestion that PatternSet "is-a" Selector until I realized I'd come back to my old bugaboo, FileSet mixing the includes and excludes between PatternSets. Thus, PatternSet can't be a Selector in Ant 1 since PatternSets can't just pass back a true or false for "isSelected()" that would work. I hate it when I figure out a problem and then forget the solution and get bitten again. As a result, PatternSet's no longer have any reference to Selectors at all.


Once I got past that mental block, things got back on track (RL allowing) and I am making progress at refactoring everything.

  To make sure we
provide this functionality in Ant 1.5, it must
enter CVS before Apr 30.  Do you think you
will be able to submit it by then?

Yup, no problem. Ok if tests and doc changes are a little later? If not, I'll just make a concerted effort there too. Otherwise it will give me more chance to expand on the Selectors available in the first pass.
