fileset not iterable

[Jarek Czekalski <ja...@poczta.onet.pl>]

Hi all

When I was scripting in ant, I could write

for (f: fs)

where fs is a FileSet. But after switching to ant tasks in java, it is 
no longer available. I get a compile error:

foreach not applicable to expression type

I guess it's pretty easy to just write FileSet implements Iterable, but 
have not tried it in the source. If it is really easy, then I suggest 
adding it to all methods returning iterator().

Regards
Jarek

Hi, Jarek.  Ant has only just recently voted to adopt Java 5 in its
trunk development (being a build tool it has tried to remain as
accessible as possible even to those stuck on what are by today's
standards thought of as archaic Java platforms).  In the future the
Iterable interface could be implemented as you suggest.

Thanks,
Matt
