http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3797 Delete task does not support to exclude a directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID Summary|Delete task does not support|Delete task does not support |to exclude a directory |to exclude a directory ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-09-27 04:19 ------- The exclude pattern will be used, but yours doesn't match /tmp/src - patterns are always considered to be relative to the dir attribute. There is no way to specify a pattern that matches /tmp/src itself (as the pattern "" would be ignored) - this is covered in the WHATSNEW file and the release notes for Ant 1.4 in the "Changes that could break older environments" section: * A delete task like <delete includeEmptyFilesets="true"> <fileset dir="somedir" /> </delete> will now remove "somedir" as well, unless there are still files left in it (matched by the default excludes).
