Reuse a fileset

[Florent Zara <fz...@free.fr>]

Hi,

I'm using Ant 1.4.1.
I've define a path element which is resued several times, like in other 
path-like structures or tasks parameters.
<path id="classpathid.jaronly">
  <fileset dir="${lib.dir}/ext/lib" includes="crimson.jar,log4j*.jar" />
  <fileset dir="${lib.dir}/int/lib" includes="common-utils.jar" />
</path>

I would like to use these filesets in a copy task, that does not support 
nested path elements (which is normal).

So, How to define a bunch of fileset and reuse them in either pathlike 
structure or a copy task ?

Thank you.
Florent

It does not seem to work with 1.4.1 ...

I am not totally sure about ant 1.4.1, but this could work
  <fileset dir="${lib.dir}/ext/lib" includes="crimson.jar,log4j*.jar"
id="fileset1"/>
   <fileset dir="${lib.dir}/int/lib" includes="common-utils.jar"
id="filesetcommons-utils.jar"/>
  <path id="classpathid.jaronly">
     <fileset refid="fileset1"/>
     <fileset refid="filesetcommons-utils.jar"/>
 </path>
 <copy todir="somedir">
      <fileset refid="fileset1"/>
      <fileset refid="filesetcommonts-utils.jar"/>
 </copy>
You can nest several filesets in the copy task if you use the todir
attribute in ant1.6
