Hi
Env: JDK 1.6.0, ANT 1.7.1
I spend some time figuring out a classpath dependancy problem in my build
file, and finally cornered the cause to the surprinsing file selection of
<fileset> when using the following syntax.
<patternset id="mypatternset">
</patternset>
<path id="path.main.compile">
<fileset dir="${mydir}">
<patternset refid="mypatternset"/>
</fileset>
</path>
The above syntax make "path.main.compile" contains all files under ${mydir}.
Is patternset applying an implicit <include name="**"/> ?
Is fileset discarding the patternset as it does not declare any pattern ?
Is that the intended behavior?
To fix the problem, I just have to be more specific in the patternset
definition, such as:
<patternset id="mypatternset">
<exclude name="**"/>
</patternset>
This example might seem of no use :)
However I use this path reference to designate a project's dependancies to
other of our projects, and some projects are standalone, so I need an empty
patternset for them.
Regards
