Let me second that, with a further example: I would be "frustrated" if an "ant clean" deleted my scratch files, notes, etc, that might be sitting at the top-level of a project.

As someone already said and I hinted at: It is a bit dangerous to specify a <delete> and hope you're somehow you specified all the directories you don't want to touch. If you use <delete> and forget to specify a directory to delete, you didn't really do any harm. But if you use <delete> and specify the files you want to keep, but forget a directory, you're up a rather smelly estuary without the means of propulsion. The best thing to do is put all files that your build.xml creates under a single directory, then your "clean" command just specifies that directory. ... *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
