FileSet within FileSet

[Thomas Lionel SMETS <ts...@netscape.net>]

In my build I have Patternsets, from which I build Filesets, like here below :
    <!-- Libraries -->
    <patternset id="pattern.lib.files">
        <include name="*.jar" />
        <include name="*.zip" />
    </patternset>
    
    <!-- Byte code files -->
    <patternset id="pattern.class.files">
        <include name="**/*.class" />
    </patternset>

>From which I created FileSets :
    <!-- The list of compiled files (containing the Byte code). -->
    <fileset id="compiled.files"
         dir="${build.dir}">
        <patternset refid="pattern.class.files" />
    </fileset>

    <!-- The list with all the jars /  libraries -->
    <fileset id="lib.files"
         dir="${lib.dir}" >
        <patternset refid="pattern.lib.files" />     
    </fileset>          


Now for creating my jar, the would like to include both file sets defined here above, to have something like :
    <!-- The files to be jarred -->
    <fileset id="jarred.files">
        <include refid="compiled.files" />
        <include refid="lib.files" />   
        <include refid="java.files" unless="${prod.flag}" />    
    </fileset>

But as it turn out the run of that gives :
file:C:/Data/idxxxxxx_PRJ_JAVA_MAIN/PRJ_JAVA/PRJCommon/script/build.xml:70: Class org.apache.tools.ant.types.PatternSet$
NameEntry doesn't support the "refid" attribute.

Would somebody have an idea to do the same in a configurable manner ?

which doesn't work as you can't nest filesets into filesets - as
filesets are rooted in a common dir by (Ant's) definition.

You could simply use

<jar ...>
  <fileset refid="compiled.files" />
  <fileset refid="lib.files" />   
  <fileset refid="java.files" unless="${prod.flag}" />    
</jar>

but I assume you want to pass the collection of filesets around (or is
there any other reason you don't want to place them under <jar>?).
What are the "other things" you intended to do with your jarred.files
fileset?
