Subject: deleting a file if it does or does not exist
Hello I have a newbie question,
I want to delete a file (part of my clean task) but the file isn't
guaranteed to be there. I currently use
<delete file="generated.jar"/>
This only works if the file does exist if it doesn't I get an error
"D:\foo\build.xml:295: Unable to delete file D:\foo\generated.jar"
As a work around I did this.
<delete>
<fileset dir="." includes="**/generated.jar.*"/>
</delete>
I am looking to learn of better ways to do the file deletion if it exists
and not fail if it doesn't.
regards,
Glen
