I want to use a patternset to tell a jar task which files to include in a jar. Easy enough, but I want to EXclude those same files from another jar while building the jar from other files in the same directory. So, essentially, I want to negate the patternset in the fileset for the second jar file. Is there any way to do this?
Not right now, I don't think so. This has been discussed before, to basically make patternset implement the FileSelector interface, 0but somehow I don't recall it was implemented.
I have found a solution by moving the patternset patterns into an includesfile and an excludesfile, however, I'd like to keep the patternset if possible.
Clever. Didn't think of that.
Another solution is to move the files to a temp directory using the patternset, invoking the jar task, and then moving them back, but that's a bit messy.
Yep, this one's not great. The solution is to use the <filename> selector. Your patterns can be put into an id'd <or> selector, and used as includes or excludes simply by having them (the refid'd <or> selector) within a <not> or not. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
