Well, you got me there, Mathew. What I am really after is a way to catch
the
condition when a specific file isn't there. Take, for example:
<patternset id="jar-1">
<include name="com/mycom/foo/*.class" />
<include name="com/mycom/bar/bar.class" />
</patternset>
I would like to know if the copy task that uses this patternset can't find
bar.class. Obviously, I can't expect Ant to know what specific classes I
want when I say "*.class." I suppose an alternative would be to create my
own task, but I would like to explore any built-in alternatives, first,
short
of using a copy task (without a patternset reference) for each file I want
to copy, because I am trying to make it easy for developers to define
JAR/CAB
configurations.
Thanks,
Ed

Not sure I understand this. If you're using a pattern like **/*.class are
you saying you want to know when no files match the pattern or when only x
files instead of x+1 files match?

Subject: Copy task
Hello,
(Warning: ANT (1.3) newbie)
I'm using a patternset in a Copy task, but if a file in the
patternset doesn't exist, Ant doesn't fail, or give me any
indication that the file couldn't be found. I want to construct
a set of JARs, after a build, by copying a subset of files (defined
by the patternset) from a "classes" tree to a separate directory,
to then JAR them. If a class file that I have defined in my
patternset doesn't exist in my compiled tree, I want to know about
it.
Solutions, alternatives?
Thanks,
Ed
