Hi Jerome,
Yes, certainly that's what I thought at the first glance as well.
But wouldn't it make more sense to make the fileset importable from
another file (i.e. extend the FileSet datatype to allow imports from
another file)?
e.g.
build.xml:
<copy todir="${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib">
<fileset src="lib.xml" />
</copy>
lib.xml:
<fileset dir="${lib.home}">
<include name="cos.jar" />
<include name="cos2.jar" />
....
</fileset>
==> but since I'm not yet an ant expert, I don't know where to start to
extend the FileSet datatype of ant. Anybody any ideas?
I think this kind of action (=reading a tag from an external file) could
be required more often, so I think it would make sense to extend the
FileSet datatype.
Has anybody a good idea where to start?
(probably at the ant mailinglist :)?
thx,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
why not coding your own task ? reading a single filename then copying
files is an easy task to be coded in Java isn't it ?
