Fileset ignores dir when using a includesfile

[Eric Wood <EW...@llbean.com>]

I using the following fileset in the PMD task and it appears to ignore
the dir and look for the includesfile in the directory that I am running
ant from. Has anybody else seen this?

            <fileset dir="${pmd.dir}" >
                <includesfile name="modified.java.files"/>
            </fileset>

I have run it in debug mode and the fileset directory appears to be
correct and the file exist and is readable, but the error message does
not reflect the ${pmd.dir} dir setting.

Not quite,
the name is a File attribute and like most File Attributes, it
is relative to the ${basedir} which by default is the location
of the build file.

If you want modified.java.files to be relative to pmp.dir, you need
to do:
<includesfile name="${pmd.dir}/modified.java.files"/>
