Filesets within Filesets

["Nau, Michael" <Mi...@pyxis.com>]

Is there a way to make a fileset of filesets?

For example:

<fileset id="foo.jar.classes" dir="${build.out.dir}">
   <include name="com/foo/**/*.class"/>
   <exclude name="**/test/*"/>
</fileset>
    
<fileset id="foo.jar" dir="${dev.src.dir}">
  <fileset refid="foo.jar.classes" />
  <include name="com/foo/xslt/*"/>
  <include name="com/foo/*.properties"/>
</fileset>  

This seems like a common thing. Here's what I want to do in English:

1. Compile all the .java files in the ${dev.src.dir} to {build.out.dir}
2. Jar the .class files from the ${build.out.dir} and all the xslt and
properties files into a foo.jar.

Thanks,
Mike.

But wait, I didn't read your use-case before I replied the first time.

You can do this:

   <jar ...>
     <fileset dir="${build.out.dir}"/>
     <fileset dir="${wherever.your.xslt.files.are.etc}"/>
   </jar>

Is that sufficient for what you're after?

You can use selectors and the and, or, not (..) operations : 
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTypes/selectors.html. Your 
fileset will have a unique base dir.

No, there is not.... the reason is because a FileSet must be rooted at a 
particular directory.

This is a bit of a bummer, I agree.  I think of a file "set" as any ol' 
set of files, not just ones under a root directory.  This is one area 
where I'd like to see/effect improvement in the future.
