My immediate thought was to not give my own folder the name "obj" ...
:-)
However, using a fileset is still the way to go, you just need to limit
things more tightly.
The "intermediate files" obj folder is always located immediately under
the project folder, and contains subfolders for the build
configurations.
Commonly, project folders are immediate subfolders of the solution
folder.
So, assuming you have a property ${solution.dir} that points to the
solution folder, you might set up something like this:
<target name="clean"
description="Remove all products of previous compilations">
<delete>
<fileset>
<include name="${solution.dir}/*/obj/Debug/**/*" />
<include name="${solution.dir}/*/obj/Release/**/*" />
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
The first "*" matches only one directory level, traversing into all the
project folders. Within each project folder, will only remove files from
obj/Debug and obj/Release.
You may find it useful to reread the docs on path matching, included in
the documentation of how filesets work:

Hope this helps,
Bevan.
