Dynamic PatternSet for Set of Directory
I have created an initialization task that will set some properties,
based on a command line property. I have defined a patternset that uses
one of these dynamically created properties.
<patternset id="dir.pattern" includes="${dir.pattern.list}"/>
The problem is that the property gets evaluated before my initialization
task can set it. Is there any straightforward way to dynamically set
this property before the patternset definition evaluates it?
Thanks, Mike

Yes, it was. I didn't realize I could put my patternset definitions inside my
initialization target. Its not as clean as lazy property evaluation would be,
but it is acceptable. Much thanks!
Mike
<target name="init" depends="unit.check">
<unitproperties unit="${unit}"/>
<patternset id="dir.pattern" includes="${dir.pattern.list}"/>
</target>

Where are you placing this <patternset> definition? Outside of targets?
Have you tried placing the <patternset> immediately after calling your
initialization task? That should do the trick. But of course that will
mean you have to move any other datatype declarations that depend upon that
patternset also.
