What would you think the xml would look like?
<foreach itemtype="fileset" source="<id>" property="item">
<echo message="${item}"/>
</foreach>
BTW. I've now got the embedded version working.
<foreach itemtype="Folders" source="c:\" property="currDir">
<echo message="${currDir}"/>
</foreach>
It works; after the first compile and everything.
I will commit the abstract TaskWithEmbeddedTasks class later today. This
abstract class will evaluate all internal elements as tasks. It skips
anything with a BuildElementAttribute, or that is in a special list of
excluded element names. The LoopTask now derives from this.
Does anyone have an argument as to whether this should go into the NAnt
core or NAntContrib? I'm leaning towards core.
