http://code.google.com/p/sweetened/source/browse/trunk/example.xml The above is what I have so far, and it works pretty well, but isn't beautiful. It was kind of ugly since I had to implement my own <path>, <filelist> and <file> elements by extending the existing ones (as you can see from the example.xml, I just prefixed them with a 's' (ie: <spath>) and doing some hackery to make it all work. Especially in the way that the <sfile> element is initialized (see the need to call this.setFile() in SweetenedFileResource.setName()). Basically, all I want to do is be able to add a couple attributes to a <file> element and then get access to those attributes in my Task. I also want the container for those <file> elements to be able to be passed as a refid into a <classpath>. It looks like ResourceDecorator is 1.8 only and since this needs to work in Eclipse, I'm stuck in 1.7.x land for now. I guess I could add that class to my own code, but I'm not entirely sure how it works from your description. If you could provide some examples, that would be great. At this point, my head is spinning from all the layers of abstraction in ant. All in all, I think I'm onto some new ant functionality here that is really useful. If you are like me and you don't like Maven, Ivy just doesn't work right (has anyone actually tried the examples in the documentation?) and Gradle is just too slow, this is a good alternative to being able to specify your dependencies in your ant build file and then use those to produce your Eclipse .classpath and launch config files. All I want is something simple and fast and just works. =) thanks, jon On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 7:14 AM, Stefan Bodewig <bode...@apache.org> wrote: > On 2010-06-04, Jon Stevens wrote: > >> What I'd like to do is be able to add a couple of attributes to the >> <file> element that lives in a <filelist> and then get access to those >> attributes in my Task. > > I've seen you've already taken on Matt's Resource advice.
