ordered fileset or selective filelist
a filelist is ordered, a fileset is selective but non-ordered. i'd like to
combine features of each, either an ordered fileset, or a selective filelist
(don't include non-existant files).
in the example build.xml shown here, the default target doesn't work because
there is no baz.xml, but the default2 target works fine.
basically, i'm build war's and ear projects from a main "build all" type
project. it should build the list of files in the order they're specified if
they exist. is there anyway to get this functionality?
<!-- build.xml -->
<project name="anttest" default="default">
<target name="default">
<subant>
<filelist dir=".">
<file name="foo.xml"/>
<file name="bar.xml"/>
<file name="baz.xml"/>
</filelist>
</subant>
</target>
<target name="default2">
<subant>
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="foo.xml"/>
<include name="bar.xml"/>
<include name="baz.xml"/>
</fileset>
</subant>
</target>
</project>
<!-- foo.xml -->
<project name="anttest" default="default">
<target name="default">
<echo> foo.xml </echo>
</target>
</project>
<!-- bar.xml -->
<project name="anttest" default="default">
<target name="default">
<echo> bar.xml </echo>
</target>
</project>

Use a fileset, not a buildpath, if the fileset is empty, subant should be a
NOP.

I've got a macrodef, and am calling it as you mentioned, I just can't seem
to figure out how to conditionally call the subant only if hte file
exists...?
<macrodef name="subproject">
<attribute name="filename" default="NOT SET"/>
<sequential>
<available file="@{filename}" property="file.found"/>
<subant>
<buildpath>
<pathelement location="@{filename}"/>
</buildpath>
</subant>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<target name="default4">
<subproject filename="foo.xml"/>
<subproject filename="bar.xml"/>
<subproject filename="baz.xml"/>
</target>

Then simply use a <path> within subant rather than either a <fileset> or a
<filelist>. A <path> is ordered, and drops non-existent files. --DD
<target name="default2">
<subant>
<buildpath>
<pathelement location="foo.xml"/>
<pathelement location="bar.xml"/>
<pathelement location="baz.xml"/>
</buildpath>
</subant>
</target>

use macrodef (define a <subproject> macro that conditionally calls subant),
and just list the macro calls in order.
