Description Ondrej Rypacek 2003-05-26 15:16:54 UTC 
FileSet composition methods don't specify the
behaviour of the product with respect to the
particles.

FileSets.intersection and FileSets.union return
new FileSet from two operands, but it is not
specified nor in the signatures nor in the
documentation, whether the product changes, when
the sources change - whether it is connected by
reference, or the entries are coppied.

It would be best, if the behaviour was expressed
in the signature of the return value (should
return something like BinaryFileset or
CompositeFileset) so that nobody could
inadverently change the contract in the future.
Or, at least write it in the documentation.
