I'm trying to create a custom ant task that I can call from my build scripts. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to write a task that can accept a fileset and iterate through all valid files. My best guess so far is below.

Unfortunately, this is giving me errors that I have not encountered in Java before. What does 'cannot be applied to ()' mean? Could anyone suggest what I could do to fix my program?

Thanks.

=========================

Error:

com/kitfox/anttask/MyAntTask.java [26:1] getDirectoryScanner(org.apache.tools.ant.Project) in org.apache.tools.ant.types.AbstractFileSet cannot be applied to ()
DirectoryScanner scanner = fs.getDirectoryScanner();

You need to do:
 DirectoryScanner scanner = fs.getDirectoryScanner(getProject());
