Thanks for the speedy response Peter, and that's exactly what the
problem was, thanks!

Hi,
I am having trouble using Apply on a proprietary third party tool. The tool
is a packaging utility which (bizarrely) cannot take wildcard or folder
parameters, so each input file must be independently specified. An example
(working) commandline call that adds a file to the package is:
xuipkg.exe /A package.xpg test.png
I am trying to use Exec with a FileSet to simplify adding multiple files to
a package as follows:
<apply executable="xuipkg.exe" relative="true">
<arg value="/A package.xpg"/>
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="**/*.png"/>
</fileset>
</apply>
However this does not seem to be passing parameters to the tool correctly,
causing the tool to just print out it's usage notice on each call and not do
any work. The tool does not provide any useful information regarding what it
wrong. If I modify the fileset to include to only handle test.png, and run
Ant with -verbose, Apply provides the following output (relevant -debug
output is similar):
[apply] Current OS is Windows XP
[apply] Executing 'xuipkg.exe' with arguments:
[apply] '/A package.xpg'
[apply] 'test.png'
[apply]
[apply] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
[apply] not part of the command.
[apply] <XUIPKG USAGE OUTPUT PRINTED HERE>
These arguments appear to correctly match the commandline call, but
something is obviously wrong. I have tried all sorts of variations on apply
and the fileset but the result is always the same. I doubt the problem lies
with the fileset, as the arguments appearing in the output seem to be right.
Does anyone have any idea what may be going wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
