Description

Hi,

I started packaging Zookeeper for Debian[1][2]. Thereby I had a problem excluding contrib/rest from the build without patching the upstream tarball. Could you please add some properties to your build.xml that allow me to (de)select contribs? In the example below I can easily override the properties:

<project name="zookeepercontrib">

<property name="contribfilesetincludes" value="*/build.xml" />
<property name="contribfilesetexcludes" value="" />

<fileset id="contribfileset"
dir="."
includes="${contribfilesetincludes}"
excludes="${contribfilesetexcludes}"
/>

<target name="compile">
<subant target="jar">
<fileset refid="contribfileset" />
</subant>
</target>

Could you please also add a line to project.classpath:

<path id="project.classpath">
<fileset dir="${additional.lib.dir}" includes="*.jar"/>

For Debian I may not compile based on the jar files in lib but must use the jars already in Debian.

Thank you!
