Currently <javac> really uses patternsets rather than filesets. The <include> 
and <exclude> patterns from the implicit fileset are used with all source 
base directories to get the set of Java files to compile. In effect the 
<include> and <exclude> are filtering based on Java package name (expressed 
in the file system equivalent way).

I think it would be possible to support filesets directly - just nobody has 
done it to date. I think to work in with the right way, the fileset basedir 
would need to be the package root. There would be some work to do to make 
sure that the fileset basedirs were added to the list of source dirs, etc. 
Definitely possible.
