ClassFileset should resolve vs. a classpath

           Summary: ClassFileset should resolve vs. a classpath
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hanafey@dna.es.dupont.com


Why does ClassFileset not take a "classpath" from which to find dependencies?
This would allow the destination jar to include parts of libraries contained
in jar files.

The genjar optional task does this, but currently it does not do dependency
checking. With a properly generated ClassFileset, the normal dependency checking
of the jar task would be available.

It also seems much cleaner to not have a special genjar task to create a
"linked" jar file, given that this seems naturally to just be a special fileset.
Maybe the only stretch is a fileset could then also represent a set of files
contained in a jar or zip file.
