Well, I'm not following, but I'm not surprised, as my head hurts when I try to think at the issues related to XML NS handling in Ant... > You are missing a bm prefix from a nested include of a fileset element in > a bm:lsync (i think) element. Not really, and this is where I think I may have stumbled on a possible bug or flow of the current design... Going back to the macro definition, simplified: <macrodef name="compile"> <element name="sources" /> <!-- <<< Declaration --> <sequential> <javac ...> <sources/> <!-- <<< Use in Javac - default NS --> </javac> <bm:sync ...> <fileset dir="src"> <sources/> <!-- <<< Use in lsync - BM NS --> </fileset> </bm:lsync> </sequential> </macrodef> See how the macro element 'sources' is used in two different tasks, from two different namespaces, the default/Ant NS, and my custom NS. Apparently, it's currently impossible to use that same macro element in the two places/tasks, when they are in different namespaces. So is this a bug, design flaw, or user error??? And I can assure you all uses of the macro, as exemplified below, all have the name attribute. This build has been working for weeks now, and I was just trying to add the <sync> or <bm:lsync> additional step to it. <compile name="dsp-test-utils"> <sources> <include name="com/lgc/testing/junitplus/**"/> <include name="com/lgc/testing/utils/**"/> <none> <contains text="import com.lgc.infra."/> </none> </sources> </compile> <compile name="dsp-util"> <sources> <include name="com/lgc/java/**"/> <include name="com/lgc/javax/**"/> </sources> </compile> > Also, is "sources" a typedef? No, a macro element, as explained above.
