Re: fileset

[Peter Davison]

Try this instead:

     <copy todir="${deploy.home}/classes">
       <fileset dir="build" />
     </copy>

and ...

     <copy todir="${deploy.home}/classes">
       <fileset dir="${build.home}" />
     </copy>
 

Note the "{}" curly braces instead of the "()" parentheses.

so in fileset you can do:

     <copy todir="${deploy.home)/classes">
       <fileset dir="build" />
     </copy>

but you can not seemingly do:

     <copy todir="${deploy.home)/classes">
       <fileset dir="$(build.home)" />
     </copy>

where:

   <property name="deploy.home" value="../foo/bar/baz" />
   <property name="build.home" value="../../foo/bar/baz" />

instead of getting the value of the property you get:

BUILD FAILED

<path>(build.home) not found

this is a bug right?

if the fileset can't take a variable as the value to the dir
attribute  then you are hard coding locations in your buildfile.  BAD BAD BAD
