Which looks fairly straightforward. I am starting to code it now...
Thanks :-)

Matt I am intrigued could you elaborate or give an example?
Are you suggesting I should create a custom selector that can take a reference to another fileset?
Or is what I am trying to do (combine fileset A and fileset b into fileset C) possible with the selector's that come with 1.6 ?

I am wondering if there is an easier way to do
something. I have several different tasks each requiring a slightly
different classpath or fileset. I have modified my build.xml so that I am
sharing this information as much as possible. You know if I add
a jar I only have to add it in one place in the build.xml and all the
proper places pick up the appropriate reference.
My solution has been to define pattern sets, then file sets using those pattern sets, and then a classpath from the file sets (the code is at the bottom). It works great but I am a programmer and I like to fiddle so here is what I am asking.
Are there any ways to use just filesets and NO
pattern sets. Ultimately I would like to be able to combine to filesets say
like so...
<fileset id="a" file="./myproject/xyzpdq..jar" /> <fileset id="b" dir="./myproject/redist/" />
<fileset id="c" dir="./myproject/" >
<fileset refid="a" />
<fileset refid="b" />
</fileset> This would greatly simplify the script at the end
because I currently have to create a pattern set and a file set for each
bit I need. I am wondering if anyone has some clever recommendations
since I can't do what I just laid out (at least as far as I know)...
At least the when we add a jar now the build fails once then we add the jar to the build.xml where as before it would fail several times in a row each time showing a new place that needed the jar referenced LOL
