My code is:
<delete includeemptydirs="true">
<fileset dir="dependencies">
<exclude name="src/**"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
In this example, I do NOT have a "src" subdirectory so the exclude should do
nothing. The first time I run it, everything is deleted UNDER dependencies
except for a few empty directories. If I run a second time, then some more of
those empty directories are deleted. If I continue to run it again and again,
eventually all empty directories are deleted including the dependencies top
level directory itself.
How do I get everything to delete the first time?

Please show us, what you want to do!
If you just want to delete everything under a certain dir it should work with
"**" in the fileset.

Betreff: delete task question
I am trying to use the <delete> task to delete files AND directories. I have
turned on the includeemptydirs and am explicitly specifying a nested <fileset>
instead of relying on the implicit one created by <delete> tag itself. My
question is about includeemptydirs. It doesn't seem to work properly.
Depending on what order the fileset iterates through the files/directories, you
will get different behavior. In order for everything to work, it would need to
iterate from the leaf on up through its parents so that a parent that WILL be
empty is deleted instead of being blocked because it still has a child
directory which WILL be deleted later on during the iteration. Is <delete>
smart enough to iterate from the leaves on up? If not, what is?
