property as file filter

Doh!
Sorry about not changing the subject!

Is it possible to build a path from a property that acts like a filter?

<property name="common.fileset.filter" value="**/common/*.class,
**/common/*.xml" />

  <path id="common.fileset.path">
      <fileset dir="lib">
        <include name="${common.fileset.filter}" />
      </fileset>
  </path>

  <jar destfile="common.jar" >
    <fileset pathref="common.fileset.path" />
  </jar>

Yes, but not exactly like you have done.

<include> elements take 1 pattern

The 'includes' attribute takes a comma separated list.

<fileset dir="lib" includes="${common.fileset.filter}"/>
