I reversed my Boolean logic and now it's working great. Thanks ! -- Tim Walker Senior Software Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freshwater Software 303-443-2266 ex. 6505 Looking for Answers to your SiteScope or SiteSeer questions? http://www.freshwater.com/support/search.htm

I installed 1.5: Ant -version Apache Ant version 1.5Beta2 compiled on May 31 2002 When I added it to my build script, Forte For Java (using 1.4 still complained) that nested selectors were disallowed (getting FFJ to use the new Ant is my next challenge). So...just running from a command prompt: ant -verbose -debug -buildfile build.xml clean >antclean.log I see the file and the [deleting] for files that have read only properties. I'm pretty sure my script is right...because if I don't have it right, I get class not found, etc. <selector id="selector"> <custom classname="COM.ant.ReadOnlySelector" classpath="${classes.dir}"/> </selector> <target name="clean"> <!-- Delete the ${build} and ${dist} directory trees --> <delete dir="${build}"/> <delete dir="${dist}"/> <delete> <fileset dir="${classes.dir}" includes="**/*.class"> <selector refid="selector"/> </fileset> </delete> </target> Any ideas ?

Unfortunately there is not a selector to filter out read-only files built-in. But the selector feature is extensible. I hope I'm not giving away the farm on our upcoming Ant book, but I was going to add this to Ant 1.6 anyway. Here is a custom selector to select only read-only files: package org.example.antbook; import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException; import org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.BaseExtendSelector; import java.io.File; public class ReadOnlySelector extends BaseExtendSelector { public boolean isSelected(File basedir, String filename, File file) throws BuildException { return (!file.canWrite()); } } Here's how I use it: <selector id="selector"> <custom classname="org.example.antbook.ReadOnlySelector" classpath="${build.dir}"/> </selector> <copy todir="${temp.dir}"> <fileset dir="${data.dir}"> <selector refid="selector"/> </fileset> </copy> If you wanted to invert the selection to choose only non-read-only files, simply wrap it with the <not> selector container.
