Not when you understand that the <javac> task "forms an implicit FileSet".
Note that for the <javac> task you could never do something like:
  <javac srcdir=".">
    <fileset ... uh, dir=".", again? -- oops ...

See? The 'srcdir' attribute and/or the nested <src> element is used to
specify the directory that would've been specified in a <fileset> 'dir'
attribute, thereby making it not only unnecessary but illegal to use a
<fileset> to specify the source files, and which is why you only specify
<include>/<exclude> (or 'includes[file]'/'excludes[file]') instead.
