[Bug 56689] New: id/refid not available in ResourceCollection

            Bug ID: 56689
           Summary: id/refid not available in ResourceCollection
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
          Assignee: notifications@ant.apache.org
          Reporter: jochen@apache.org

AFAIK, it is not possible to create or use a Reference to a ResourceCollection,
because the id/refid attributes aren't present in the respective implementation
classes.

This is a serious constraint, because (for example) there is no possibility to
pass resource collections to a macro.

--- Comment #1 from Stefan Bodewig <bo...@apache.org> ---
Not sure I follow you here.

It is true the ResourceCollection interface doesn't support refif/id directly
but (almost?) all concrete implementations of the interface do.  What exactly
are your trying to do that isn't possible?

I'm not completely sure we have documented it, but I think we do.  The
<resources> type is the generic collection if you need a placeholder for any
type of resource collection.  It's getRef() method casts the ref to
ResourceCollection and not to any concrete subclass.
