I agree: this is not a show-stopper.
After reading all possible solutions to the ambiguity problem for looptask,
I think that the best way to solve it would be to use referenced filesets,
as suggested by Philip Nelson. The resulting buildfile would look like this:
<fileset ID="foo" >
<include ......
</fileset>
<foreach ...type="FileSet" ref="foo">
<do>
<!--Stuff to do -->
</>
</>
Naturally, these references could also be used by other tasks.
I looked into doing this by skimming through the Ant sources, and it seems doable.
Ant basically uses a base class DataType, which contains all reference logic (such as
checking for circular references and such). AbstractFileSet (and others) extends this
class.
This seems like a good way to do it, but I'm open for other suggestions.
I also wonder if the regex task i submitted will be added to the cvs, or whether it
needs to be improved first.
