Ooookay.
<jar> can accept a nested <fileset> (yet to try this out).
<javac> can accept a nested <src> element which is a path like structure,
and hence allows nested <fileset>'s within it.
<delete> allows nested <fileset> elements.
Would be simple to have a few patternsets for use within a fileset, for each
function and pass this to a common.xml file.
Question: How does one pass a fileset or patternset from one file to
another? Use of params? Example snippet anyone?
My email RFE is thus moot, unless i run into problems.
TIA.
T Master.
