Yes, that would work for the example I sent (I thought about your recent posts after I sent my email). After sending, I realized that the refactoring I was doing also needed to do something like this (for which I don't think the redefining modification is enough): <copy todir="\foo\one"> <fileset refid="common.files" /> <fileset refid="less.common.files" /> </copy> <copy todir="\foo\two"> <fileset refid="common.files" /> <fileset refid="other.common.files" /> </copy> <copy todir="\foo\two"> <fileset refid="other.common.files" /> <fileset refid="less.common.files" /> </copy> (etc) In short, I have somewhere between 3 and 5 discrete blocks of assemblies that have to be copied to something like 10 different directories, in various combinations that make it impossible (as far as I can see) to get rid of the redundancy with single filesets. Unless, the new mods support multiple refid's? (that would remove the need for multiple fileets -- at least in my case). E.g.: <copy todir="\foo\two"> <fileset refid="common.files" refid="other.common.files" mode="append" /> </copy> or perhaps: <copy todir="\foo\two" mode="append" > <fileset> <refid>common.files</refid> <refid>other.common.files</refid> </fileset> </copy> If not (and I am assuming not, from what I've seen so far), I would be interested in people's opinions on the preferred way -- multiple refid's or multiple filesets (or both, or something else)?
