Description Dawid Weiss 2004-02-06 10:46:52 UTC 
I think it would be useful if Copy task could also accept filelist objects. For 
example, I created a task to track JAR dependencies of a given module and once 
I have these dependencies (the task creates a FileList object with a certain 
ID), I would like to copy them to one directory, flattening everything... 
FileSets are not good for this task, because they bound to one directory and 
filelist can contain files from more than one root filesystem (windows).

Since the problem cited with <fileset>s is the dir attribute, the basic need 
could be satisfied by (enhancement) Bug 18128, also.

fixed in 1.7 (HEAD)

Thanks Matt! This is definitely a request feature I've waited for the longest...
so long I forgot I posted it. Nothing personal -- I'm joking of course. Thanks
for taking care of it.
