Re: Create filelists or filesets from property or path

[peter reilly <pe...@corvil.com>]

You have ran into one of the current issues
with ant - file sets cannot have multiple roots,
and most commands use file sets.

There is a task - <outofdate> on ant-contrib which has
some of the behaviour of dependset. It can take a
path as a parameter.

That said, if you are on unix or all the files in dos
are on the same partition (or "drive"), your <myanalyzetask>
should be able to generate a fileset where the dir property
is "/" for unix and drive:/ for dos, and all the file names
are relative to the root (/any/path/file.class -> any/path/file.class).
