<h2>Makeurl Task</h2>
<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
This task takes one or more filenames and turns them into URLs, which it then assigns to a property.
Useful when setting up RMI or JNLP codebases, for example.
Nested filesets are supported; if present, these are turned into the URLs with the supplied separator between them (default: space).
<p>Examples:</p>
<pre>
&lt;makeurl file="${user.home}/.m2/repository" property="m2.repository.url"/&gt;
</pre>
Sets the property <code>m2.repository.url</code> to the file: URL of the local Maven2 repository.
<pre>
&lt;makeurl property="codebase"&gt;&lt;fileset dir="lib includes="*.jar"/&gt;&lt;/makeurl&gt;
</pre>
Set the property <code>codebase</code> to the three URLs of the files provided as nested elements.
