Class specifies how the fileset will be used:
For all classes, as the files are copied, the file group status is also displayed,
including the file being copied and the percent of all the filesets that have been
completed.
Name is used to relate logical filesets together, even when they are declared in
different included files. If multiple filesets exist with the same logical name,
there can be only one description and one class for all of them. For example,
if multiple filesets with the name OS2 are declared, and the class is
OPTIONAL, only one description entry for the OS2 files is presented for the
user to select. If the user selects it, all filesets with the name OS2 are copied.
