Ian,

Having supprot for multiple fileset is definitely useful

For example:

if you want to reference assemblies from a single base directory, then you can use :

<references basedir="C:/Test/Dunno">
   <include name="AssemblyA.dll" />
   <include name="bin/AssemblyB.dll" />
   <include name="whatever/AssemblyC.dll" />
</references>

but if you want to reference assemblies from multiple base directories, then you're forced to use this :

<references>
   <include name="C:/Test/AssemblyA.dll" />
   <include name="C:/Test/bin/AssemblyB.dll" />
   <include name="C:/Test/whatever/AssemblyC.dll" />
   <include name="D:/Test/whatever/AssemblyD.dll" />
   <include name="D:/Test/whatever/AssemblyE.dll" />
</references>

Not only is this not as clean as having support for multiple filesets, it also causes problems for tasks that use the relative path to the base directory (like the <zip> task does to determine the directory within the zip file).

sure - totally - in fact the the compiler tasks already support multiple resources filesets. I was just pointing out a way to work around the limitation with the zip task and current builds.

Ian

Ant supports this in various (all tasks that use filesets ?) tasks.

You can always just use multiple invocations of the <zip> task

Hi Felice,

I think we should actually tackle this in general : I'm pretty sure there are more tasks where support for multiple filesets could be useful.

However, this should be done post 0.85 ...

Gert,

I was wondering what the status of "Add support for multiple filesets to the <zip> task" is. I noticed in the Release Plan that it's pending. If it's not going in Nant 0.85 will it be going in a future release?

Thanks,
Felice
