Don't write a task for that IMHO, just take Diane's cue, and do something
like:
<property name="nl"
value="${line.separator}" />
<property name="out"
value="${basePath}/xmlfiles-template.xml" />
<fileset id="myfiles"
dir="${sourcePath}"
includes="**/ejb-jar.xml" />
<pathconvert property="myfiles2"
dirsep="/"
pathsep="</file>${nl} <file>"
refid="myfiles">
<!-- use a <map> if you need relative paths -->
</pathconvert>
<delete file="${out}" />
<echo file="${out}" append="yes"
message="<files>${nl} <file>" />
<echo file="${out}" append="yes"
message="@FILES@" />
<echo file="${out}" append="yes"
message="</file>${nl}</files>${nl}" />
<copy file="${out}"
tofile="${basePath}/xmlfiles.xml"
overwrite="yes">
<filterset>
<filter token="FILES" value="${myfiles2}" />
</filterset>
</copy>
Might be a little longuish, but it's pure ANT, and should work (I use a
similar technique to dynamically construct the Class-Path: manifest
attribute of my JAR. Let me know if it works for you. --DD

Use <fileset> to get the set of files, <pathconvert> it to a list, then
either use <foreach> to <echo> the text and files out to a file (if you
can go with Ant1.5[soon to go beta]), or for-loop through them in a
<script>.
