Hi Scott, Thanks for the clarification. I was working from the Fundamentals/Filesets docs which suggested that the Includes attribute on Fileset consists of:
"comma-separated list of patterns of files that must be included; all files are included when omitted." But this didn't appear to be true. I'll try the includesList although I think my build files will turn rather ugly emitting a separate file to hold sources/refs file specs. I may have a look over the developer archives - get an idea of the general thoughts on this issue. It's a really powerful feature of Ant and I'm struggling to share build rules across multiple components without it.

But no code has be put in cvs :) As for the format of the fileset in text file it is not csv (comma separated) but one per line. <fileset> <includesList name="filename.txt"/> </fileset> There were some discussions about changing the name of the includesList element, but the current code reflects that sample above. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Syzling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 12:09 PM Subject: [Nant-users] fileset parameterisation > I'd like to be able to centralise my build rules wherever possible. > > Is it possible to parameterise filesets, for example the 'sources' and > 'references' elements of the csc task.
