Hmm... this one needs to be thought out... but I suspect it will be needed so you can target a particular directory... this of course could be done with an exclude/include instead, but using an explicit recurse attribute would make the task much clearer to read, and avoid mistakes. > Do we need a purge attribute to delete empty dirs - I'm not decided on > this? Yes, use a rule in the standard delete task... i.e. delete if empty, etc. I would like control over empty dirs. They may not be part of the source tree, but be placeholders for my working environment or some other workspace addition that I want ignored by the build system... - Brill Pappin
