I am trying to create sym links in 1 directory for each file in another
directory.  I got this example from a previous posting, but so far am
unable to make it work for me.

The code is below - the problem I am having is that the sym link is
being created in whatever directory I am in when I run the ant command
rather than the directory that I have specified in the destdir argument
(foo).

<project name=3D"test" default=3D"testfoo">

        <target name=3D"testfoo">

                <fileset dir=3D"bar" id=3D"commonRefId">
                        <include name=3D"*" />
                </fileset>
                <symlinkFileset fsRefid=3D"commonRefId" destdir=3D"foo" =
/>
        </target>

        <macrodef name=3D"symlinkFileset">
                <attribute name=3D"fsRefid" />
                <attribute name=3D"destdir" />
                <sequential>
                        <echo message=3D"@{destdir}"/>
                        <apply executable=3D"ln" dir=3D"@{destdir}"
verbose=3D"true" parallel=3D"false">
                                <arg value=3D"-s" />
                                <arg value=3D"-f" />
                                <arg value=3D"-v" />
                                <fileset refid=3D"@{fsRefid}" />
                        </apply>
                </sequential>
        </macrodef>

</project>
