well got 80% of the way there :)
The below will make a list of the filename surrounded by quotes.
(havn't tried it as part of a line= constrct yet.
<fileset dir="${src.home}" id="xmlcode.files">
<include name="*.xml"/>
</fileset>
<pathconvert targetos="unix"
pathsep="" ""
property="xmlfiles"
refid="xmlcode.files"
>
<map from="${src.home}" to=""/>
</pathconvert>
<echo message=""${xmlfiles}"${line.separator}" />
However I noticed a buggaboo - the <map from="xx" to="xx" /> only
does simple string substitution so unless you specify
${path.separator} for every instance of it in all paths everywhere
the mapping will not work right so my common practice of specifying
all patht as unix paths when software recognizes them (ie: fileset
does!) will not work. Now I need to find the string substitutor so I
can translate all the '/' to $path.separator} before the map operation
(xml is really the wrong thing to make a scripting system out of!)

Hi,
if your list of file is not too long, that is if you are not going to
overflow the maximum for command lines (4096 chars under Windows I
think), and if none of your files contain spaces in their names or
directories, you can use pathconvert to generate a property from a
fileset. Then you can pass this property with <arg line="$ {someproperty}"/>

I want to pass in a "list" of files as the last arguments to a java

I might go about it? Traversing the apache docs, I couldn't find
how to do what I would think is one of the first things people
would need.
From the command line executing the utility would be:
java [...] XMLToCode.class *.xml
In ant something liek the below:
<target name="GeneratedCode"
depends="CodeGenerator"
description="Generate Java code" >
<java classname="CodeGenerator.XMLToCode"
fork="true"

<classpath refid="compile.classpath"/>
<arg value="-java"/>
