<p>FileLists are explicitly named lists of files. Whereas FileSets act as filters, returning
only those files that exist in the file system and match specified patterns, FileLists are
useful for specifying files that may or may not exist. Multiple files are specified as a list
of files, relative to the specified directory, with no support for wildcard expansion (filenames
with wildcards will be included in the list unchanged). FileLists can appear inside tasks that
support this feature or as stand-alone types.</p>
<table class="attr">
<tr>
<th scope="col">Attribute</th>
<th scope="col">Description</th>
<th scope="col">Required</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>dir</td>
<td>The base directory of this FileList.</td>
<td>Yes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>files</td>
<td>The list of file names. This is a list of file name separated by whitespace, or by
commas.</td>
<td>Yes, unless there is a nested file element</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h4>Nested element: file</h4>
<p><em>Since Apache Ant 1.6.2</em></p>
<p>This represents a file name. The nested element allows filenames containing white space and
commas.</p>
<table class="attr">
<tr>
<th scope="col">Attribute</th>
<th scope="col">Description</th>
<th scope="col">Required</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>name</td>
<td>The name of the file.</td>
<td>Yes</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<pre>
<filelist
id="docfiles"
dir="${doc.src}"
files="foo.xml,bar.xml"/></pre>
<p>The files <samp>${doc.src}/foo.xml</samp> and <samp>${doc.src}/bar.xml</samp>. Note that
these files may not (yet) actually exist.</p>
<pre>
<filelist

dir="${doc.src}"
files="foo.xml
bar.xml"/></pre>
<p>Same files as the example above.</p>
