FileLists are explicitly named lists of files. Whereas FileSets
act as filters, returning only those files that exist in the file
system and match specified patterns, filelists are useful for
specifying filenames that may or may not exist. Multiple files are
specified via a comma-separated list, with no support for wildcards.
FileLists can appear inside tasks that support this feature or at the
same level as target
- i.e., as children of
project
.
Attribute | Description | Required |
dir | the base directory of this FileList. | Yes |
files | Comma-separated list of file names. | Yes |
<filelist id="docfiles" dir="${doc.src}" files="foo.xml,bar.xml"/>
The files ${doc.src}/foo.xml
and
${doc.src}/bar.xml
. Note that these files may not (yet)
actually exist.
<filelist refid="docfiles"/>
Same files as the example above.
