Issues using a path

When I create the following path reference:

<path id="projectSpecificLibs" >
       <fileset dir="${dir.release.area}">

          <!-- GOOD JARS: elements exist in the file system -->
          <include
name="com/llbean/CMN_Infrastructure/llbinfrastructure/1.2.0/llbinfrastru
cture-1.2.0.jar" />
          <include
name="com/llbean/CMN_Security/llbsecurity/2.0.0/llbsecurity-2.0.0.jar"
/>

          <!-- BAD JAR: element does NOT exist in the file system
-->
          <include name="com/llbean/bogus.jar" />
      <fileset>
</path>

Only the two good jars are found in the path reference. I want to know
if an <include name="... /> statement contains an invalid path to an
element. I can't process through the path reference later, because it
only places the elements in the path if they are found, so I can't step
through it to determine whether or not they exist. Is there another
option to have ANT tell we when I have included a non-existing entry in
a path reference?

Thanks, Eric
