extending existing java task

[Toni Penttinen]

Hi,

It would be nice to have recursive directory scan in java tasks e.g. similar than 
javac has.

Couple of examples how it would look like as task point of view:

<target name="example" depends="something" description="example task">
        <java fork="yes" srcdir="${src.dir}"  includes="**/*.java" failonerror="true" 
classname="example.Main" output="${example.dir}/example_log.xml">
                        <arg line="-x -all"/>
                <classpath refid="class.path"/> 
        </java>
</target>

another example:

<target name="example" depends="something" description="example task">
        <java fork="yes" failonerror="true" classname="example.Main" 
output="${example.dir}/example.xml">
                        <arg value="-x"/>
                        <arg value="-all"/>
                <fileset dir="${src.dir}">
                        <patternset>
                                <include name="**/*.java"/>
                        </patternset>
                </fileset>
                <classpath refid="class.path"/>
        </java>
</target>


Java task could also extend MatchingTask like javac does.
