Kyle,
Order is irrelevant for includes/excludes. An excluded file/directory wins
over it being explicitly included.
(this made intuitive sense for me, but I took a look at the source code,
specifically DirectoryScanner.java, in order to verify - I like to
cross-reference the source before answering definitively).
I'm not sure how to accomplish excluding 'bar' directories, but including
'foo/bar' directories. I'd love to see how to accomplish it though.

I'm still stuck on this problem - anyone have even a smidgen of an idea?

I'm looking for clarification on exactly how includes and excludes work.
I need to package two JARs for weblogic - one for the java classpath,
one for the weblogic classpath. The directory bar should be excluded
from one, and included in the other, EXCEPT when bar is a subdirectory
of foo. I had thought this would handle it:
<!-- Weblogic classpath jar -->
<jar jarfile="wcp.jar" basedir="${base.dir}" whenempty="skip">
<include name="**/bar/*.class" />
<exclude name="**/foo/bar/*" />
</jar>
<!-- Java classpath jar -->
<jar jarfile="jcp.jar" basedir="${base.dir}" whenempty="skip"
defaultexcludes="false">
<exclude name="**/bar/*" />
<include name="**/foo/bar/*.class" />
</jar>
But the jcp.jar is skipped, which leads me to believe that the last
<include> does not override the <exclude>. Or that my syntax is just
incorrect :-)
