The data type doesn't support the nested "jspselector" element.

[Sriram Narayan <sr...@thoughtworks.com>]

I'm using Ant 1.5.2 (have to) and trying to select a list of directories 
(relative to a base dir) that contain JSP files. Is there a OS independent 
way of doing this?
Anyway, I tried writing a custom JSPselector that implements FileSelector 
and then included it in my build like this:
<typedef name="jspselector" classname="com.abc.ant.selectors.JspSelector" 
classpath="${basedir}/custom"/> 
        <path id="jsp.dir.list">
            <dirset dir="${jsp.src.dir}">
                <jspselector/>
            </dirset>
        </path>

When I run the target, it says
The <dirset> data type doesn't support the nested "jspselector" element.

Any idea why? I also tried extending BaseSelector instead of FileSelector 
but no joy.

You need to use pre ant1.6  custom selectors:
