Limit on FileSet matches.

[David Clements <dc...@merc-int.com>]

I am creating a component driven build process that uses xml files as the component definitions.  I am
currently using Filesets to find the exact location of each component xml file.

The problem is that as my build environment grows so does the search time for these files. 

Is there a better way to do this?
Is there a way to limit the search by depth? Or stop when it finds one?

Look at the "Selectors" section of the Ant manual, in the
"Concepts and Types" part.  There are all sorts of neat things
you can do to construct file search predicates.

I don't know of any way to short-circuit a search, however.
