Sequential task: Looping over fileset

           Summary: Sequential task: Looping over fileset
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: schoen@tarsec.com


The "Sequential" task could be extended for not just executing the nested
targets once, but (optionally) for each entry of a given fileset. The name of
the file currently processed during one loop could be read from a system
property specified as an attribute of "sequential":

  <fileset id="filelist" dir="/somedir">
      <patternset pattern="*.txt" />
  </fileset>

  <!-- Iterate through fileset. At each iteration,
       the name of the current file entry will be
       stored in the system property "filelist.entry" -->
  <sequential refid="filelist" current="filelist.entry">
    <echo message="Current File: ${filelist.entry}" />
    <echo message="Display file in console:" />
    <concat>
        <filelist dir="/somedir" 
                  files="${filelist.entry}" />
    </concat>
  </sequential>
