Converting Fileset to Propert in Ant 1.5 and below

[Stuart Harper <st...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have an Ant script which builds a fileset and then converts it to a 
property like so:

<fileset id="debug.class.files" dir="${dir.classes}">
<include name="**/Debug*.class"/>
</fileset>

<property name="debug.classlist" refid="debug.class.files"/>

This works perfectly in Ant 1.6.3 but in 1.5 it doesn't. Looking at debug 
trace I see something like:

"Adding reference: debug.class.files -> 
org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet@56f631

Setting project property: debug.classlist -> 
org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet@56f631"

I get the fileset reference name instead of the actual fileset. Is there any 
way to make this work in older versions of Ant?

Stuart.
