http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18102 A new core Task, that applies a Task to all files of a FileSet Summary: A new core Task, that applies a Task to all files of a FileSet Product: Ant Version: 1.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I propose a new core Task, that applies (executes) another (nested) Task to all files of a given FileSet ONE by ONE. This functionality is already present for system commands with the Apply-Task when parallel="false", but sorely missing for general Tasks if they not by themself accept a FileSet parameter. Of course one can always wrap the task call in a script, that recalls ant, but this is neither easy, not portable, not readable not efficient. It could possibly be done by for each file in the set dowing the following: Assigning the file to a property and the reevaluating and executing the nested Task. This cannot be easily implemented as a custom Task, because repeated calling of execute() cannot change the properties of the called Task easily.
