MatchingTask (derivative) doesn't support nested fileset.

[Donald Strong <ds...@agentissoftware.com>]

I am writing a task that will include a fileset.
I extended MatchingTask thinking I would get FileSet
suport for free but Ant is barfing.

I have also had trouble finding any examples of what
to do to process the FileSet. Am I doing the right thing
below?

Any help appreciated.

Regards
Donald.

MatchingTask predates FileSet and really is not the recommended way to
write new tasks.  MatchingTask gives you a single (implicit) fileset
for free.

Hmm, take any of the simpler Ant tasks.  <concat>?

Basically yes.

Note that the file names returned by getIncludedFiles are relative to
the fileset's basedir.  You may need to tell setDatafile about the
basedir as well.

Hi Donald,
AFAIK, Matching task supports <include name="...">
nested tag, not <fileset>, so you should use your
<buildlog> task like this:

>               opsys="${opsys}"
>               testtype="${testtype}"
>               release="${release}"
>               version="${version}"
>               timestamp="${timestamp}"
>               testgroup="${testgroup}">             
 
>         <include name="${testfile}.xml" />
>     </buildlog>
