Bug fixed!

I added a class to contain many filesets and Ant builds just fine! After reading Terence's post on submitting bugs, I tried to svn diff my changes. That was not successful because the only thing I changed was that I added a file. I tried to then svn import my file into the repository but it failed. Well, when all else fails, gzip it! I gziped the file in the correct directory structure and submitted it in the bug issue page. We'll see what the Ant gurus think of my patch!

Bug selected...

And the winner is...

Bug 48621 – Allow with multiple base directories

I chose this primarily because of some help that I found in the discussion portion of the bug tracking database. One of the commenters pontificated on a potential solution. I figured I'd give it a try.

OK, I've got my three bugs to look at

Truth be told, these are retroactive blog posts. I've already picked and turned in the Ant bug.

Bug 48058 – tar task looses file permissions
Bug 48829 – Javac task only accepts *.java files
Bug 48621 – Allow with multiple base directories

I chose these three because they 'seemed' somewhat elementary and would not take a major understanding of many portions of Ant. My plan was to investigate these three bugs and hopefully one would identify itself as the logical choice.
