I read the manual but not so intuitive. I solved my problem simple: since I runt the ant script on a linux box I use <exec> task to execute a simple script with this command "find . -name ".svn" | xargs rm -rf".
I will try later to figure out if is possible to use the <delete> task with that pattern Thx Dominique Dominique Devienne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Please read the manual entry for Arminio.
