If I have presented a negative face here, I apologize, although the only "personal" thing I feel I possibly brought to the discussion was the "your behavior" comment. It has been pointed out to me that certain statements on this thread may or may not have had rude intent but in the interest of ending this facet of the discussion I'll say no more on the subject. > In a perfect world all sets would be unsorted, but in > the real world sorted and ordered sets are needed and that is why there are > LinkedHashSet and TreeSet in Java.

Ant 1.7 will ship with the <sort> collection that allows the use and/or combination of a number of included resourceComparators as well as the possibility for custom ResourceComparator implementations. With this, and the proposed includesfile attribute of <filelist> it seems that all bases would be covered. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
