Recursive Filesets
Has anyone ever requested this?
Seems to me it would be a great convenience to be able to do something
like this:
<fileset id="war.sources">
<fileset dir="${java.sources}"/>
<fileset dir="${built.jars}">
<include="this.particular.jar"/>
<include="that.particular.jar"/>
</fileset>
</fileset>
<uptodate property="need.to.rebuild.war" targetfile="some.war">
<srcfiles refid="war.sources"/>
</uptodate>
etc.
But since filesets cannot be combined in this way, this will not work.
This forces you to insure that all sources live under the same tree,
which will get ugly the further the separate filesets are from the root
of the tree.

You can use outofdate from antcontrib. It takes a Path
which can have multiple filesets.
<outofdate property="need.to.rebuild.war">
<sourcefiles>
<fileset dir="${java.sources}"/>
<fileset dir="${build.jars}" includes="this.jar,that.jar">
</sourcefiles>
<targetfiles path="some.war"/>
</outofdate>
