Enforce order in copying so that my overiding works correctly
Hi I am looking for files to copied to same directory from different
locations as specified by fileset and its includes as below.
<copy todir="${build.wtk.res}" overwrite="true"
includeEmptyDirs="false" flatten="true">
<fileset dir="${resources}">
<exclude name="**/Thumbs.db"/>
<include name="jad/app.jad"/>
<include name="images/deviceid/**/N73/*.jad/>
</fileset>
</copy>
However, I wish includes would be applied in the order they are represented
in the fileset so that my overide would give the desired file.
e.g let us say I have app.jad files in jad directory and also in N73
directory. As N73 includes is last, the final copied file should be the
which existed in N73 directory and not the one which existed in jad
directory.
currently as the order is not clear to me, I am using 3 seperate copies with
one include with jad and other copy with n73 include i.e as below.
<copy todir="${build.wtk.res}" overwrite="true"
includeEmptyDirs="false" flatten="true">
<fileset dir="${resources}">
<exclude name="**/Thumbs.db"/>
<include name="jad/app.jad"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
<copy todir="${build.wtk.res}" overwrite="true"
includeEmptyDirs="false" flatten="true">
<fileset dir="${resources}">
<exclude name="**/Thumbs.db"/>
<include name="images/deviceid/**/N73/*.jad/>
</fileset>
</copy>
Though this does solve my issue, however it keeps my ant script bigger and
does not convey things as the first approach. Does any one have any idea how
to enable the first approach work..

Went through some permutations -- the docs are a bit scanty -- but
here's an example that works:
<fileset id="a" dir="${dist}"><include name="ampcom.jar"/> </fileset>
<fileset id="b" dir="${extlib}"><include name="ant.jar"/></fileset>
<union id="ab">
<fileset refid="a"/><fileset refid="b"/>
</union>
<target name="aTest">
<copy todir="/tmp">
<union refid="ab"/>
</copy>
</target>
Wish we were using Ant 1.7 generally, there's a number of places this
would come in handy.

P.S. :
here are your set operations =

that can be achieved via resource collections in ant 1.7
i didn't use ant 1.7 yet, but you can do things like =
<!-- subtract the intersection -->
<difference id="foobar">
<fileset refid="yourfileset_1" />
<fileset refid="yourfileset_2" />
</difference>
and also count for further math operations =
<resourcecount property="count.foo">
<fileset refid="foo" />
</resourcecount>

A FileSet does not have a well-defined order, it's a set. A FileList
does have an order, but I'm not sure if you can use that in a copy
task.
Speaking of FileSet, is it just me who's having trouble doing a set
union on FileSets? I'd have expected something like
<fileset id="set1" dir="/tmp"><include name="aFile"></fileset>
<fileset id="set2" dir="/etc"><include name="passwd"></fileset>
<fileset id="set3">
<include refid="set1"/>
<include refid="set2"/>
</fileset>
to give me a FileSet with two files in it, but it's not even legal,
and I have yet to find a legal way to do it. Is it just that the
internal representation of FileSet is not compatible with that kind of
operation?

Hi,
Thank you for pointing to filelist. However filelist does not support
selectors such as include and exclude. Are there ony future plans of
supporting these patterns in filelist or else fileset to be orderset. Any
ant developers pl. see if this could be a possible feature in future
versions.
Regards,
Nagendra
