Thanks. I understand now Conor.
Question: Can I use a patternset I have predefined for use with javac?
Also, I couldn't get my patternsets to work with <jar> (parsed, but settings
ignore completely)
Note, the <jar> task states it supports all fileset attributes, and even
includes an example using a fileset. The <javac> task however does not
provide an example of a nest fileset, but also states it supports all
fileset attributes verbatim.
This is the error message I get:
+Target: compileProject2
+Task: javac
appserver-build.xml [132] Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac doesn't
support the nested "fileset" element
My objective is to have a fileset for cleaning (works beautifully), and
using same for jar'ing, and javac'ing. Cod re-use!
T Master.
