FileSet as a command line argument

[Azariah Jeyakumar <az...@tumbleweed.com>]

Hi,

How do I pass a set of file names as a command line argument in tasks such
as "java" or "exec"?

This is what I would like to be able to do:

<java classname="org.jacorb.idl.parser" classpath="$orb.class.path}"
fork="yes">
    <arg>
        <fileset dir="${idl.dir}">
            <include name="**/*.idl"/>
        </fileset>
    </arg>
</java>

Is there any other way to achieve this in ant 1.4?

If writing a custom task is the only way to go, can someone point me to an
example?

Thanks
Azariah

<path id="mypath.id">
   <fileset dir="${idl.dir}">
     <include name="**/*.idl"/>
  </fileset>
</path>

<property name="mypath" refid="mypath.id" />
