That works! Thanks. But this means the manual is definitely wrong. >From http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/delete.html ... <delete includeEmptyDirs="true"> <fileset dir="build"/> </delete> deletes all files and subdirectories of build, including build itself. <delete includeemptydirs="true"> <fileset dir="build" includes="**/*"/> </delete> deletes all files and subdirectories of build, without build itself. However my target looks like this: <target name="codegen.clean"> <delete verbose="true" includeemptydirs="true"> <fileset dir="autosrc"/> </delete> </target> and it has just deleted everything inside my autosrc directory (except, correctly, .svn which is in the default excludes) but left autosrc itself intact. 09:24:00 0 jobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/data/GanymedeWorkspace/cathws (436) bash $ ls -la autosrc/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 clegg users 4096 Jun 24 09:23 . drwxr-xr-x 9 clegg users 4096 Jun 23 15:55 .. drwxr-xr-x 6 clegg users 4096 Jun 23 15:55 .svn Should I submit this as a bug report somewhere?
