Peter posted an answer that worked just fine for me - perhaps this could be a jGuru FAQ?

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:


<jar jarfile="wcp.jar" basedir="${base.dir}" whenempty="skip">
    <include name="**/bar/*.class" />
    <exclude name="**/foo/bar/*" />
</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 :-)
