What do I do to pass this in as a comma-delimited list of .class names? I still haven't figured out how to get the FileSet/PatternSet/PathConvert stuff to work for the behavior I mentioned. I feel like I am just missing something obvious. By the same token, however, Ant should be able to handle a list of package names. It is the most universal list we could have for java -- especially if we start talking about tasks doing reflection. I should be able to pass a list of package names off to some task -- but it seems that we are not supposed to use any current structures to hold package names. I mean, if you can provide me the correct way to do it with the current codebase, great -- I will change it and pass it off to management.... But if Ant could handle package names, this would have been done in a few minutes instead of a couple weeks.
