Have you considered using a macrodef and elements?
Maybe something like:
<macrodef name="my-macro">
<attribute name="id"/>
<element name="includes"/>
<sequential>
<path id="@{id}">
<includes/>
</path>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
Then you can supply whatever you want in <includes> as long as it
adheres to <path> allowances....

Hi All,
I have created dozen of custom tasks before, but find myself
struggling with this one. I wish to create a task that does the
following:
1. Accepts a file attribute to represent the absolute path of a file
contains comma separated absolute paths.
a. this file name will be read in, parsed and each file found will
be added to a fileset object, which in term is added to a resources
object.
2. Accepts a id property
a. this id will be the id of the resource created in step 1a.
So essentially I want...
<csvtofileset file="csv.file.name" id="some.id.name">
I am unclear on how to add the fileset i create in my code to the
project. Additionally I am unsure of how to assign this an 'id' that
I can reference elsewhere. Basically what I want to be able to do is
create a collection of files on the fly which I can reference on the
fly. Essentially in the following snippet, the resources element
would be replaced by my new task element
<project name="test" basedir="." default="test">
<!-- old -->
<resources id="fsd">
<fileset file="c:\temp\db2_test\db2jcc.jar" />
<fileset file="c:\temp\db2_test\db2jcc_license_cu.jar" />
</resources>
<!-- old -->
<!-- new -->
<csvtofileset file="csv.file.name" id="fsd">
<!-- new -->
<target name="test">
<copy toDir="c:\temp\ failonerror="true">
<resources refid="fsd"/>
</copy>
</target>
</project>
Any help at all would be appreciated.
