http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23070 Delete task can't delete a directory based on a name pattern Summary: Delete task can't delete a directory based on a name pattern Product: Ant Version: 1.5.4 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use case: Weblogic has an EJB-related temp dir that get generated at startup and is kept under the domain home, when and if deploying EJB jars. This temp dir should be deleted between server restarts in development mode, along with some other dirs that cache generated and unpacked J2EE component archives between restarts. It's just the surest way to avoid caching problems with J2EE components when working with Weblogic. The name is generateed based on some attributes of the local machine name and the current Weblogic server instance, e.g., tmp_ejbmyhostname27001myserver. To make a long story short: it would be nice in a team environment to be able to delete variabley-named directories like this with a shared clean target. But the delete task does not support any way to delete a directory by name pattern, as it does with files and fileset includes/excludes. This would be useful in other contexts, but the Weblogic use case is a real one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
