using for defining data type?

[ko...@excite.co.jp]

Hello,

Can I use <presetdef> task to pre-set data type like <fileset>?
It seems that it can be used for defining "my <fileset>", but
it cannot be used for using "my <fileset>". What I tried to do
is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
    <presetdef name="java.fileset">
        <fileset>
	    <include name="**/*.java"/>
	    <include name="**/*.class"/>
	    <include name="**/*.jar"/>
	</fileset>
    </presetdef>

    <property name="java.dir" value="c:/somewhere"/>

    <target name="copy">
        <copy todir="to">
	    <java.fileset dir="${java.dir}"/>
        </copy>
    </target>

</project>

With above build.xml, I run ant with -debug option:

C:\> ant -debug
	:
 +Datatype java.fileset org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet
	:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

"java.fileset" seems to be defined correctly. But I run ant with
"copy" target option to actually use the new data type, I got
the following error:

C:\> ant copy
	:
BUILD FAILED
C:\build.xml:14: The <copy> type doesn't support the nested "java.fileset"
element.

Thank you,

Koji
