Hi,

thanks for your replies!

A UI can't handle runtime resolution, for example. Say, your
application produces an unknown number of image files "*.png" and you
want all of them staged out.
So it's not convenience alone. As a good functional example for filesets/wildcards,
I'd again quote Apache Ant.

Best regards,
Bernd.
