Hello:
I have a build file which declares a <resources> containing a list of
expected files which are relative to some directory. I am trying to
delete any files from that directory which /are not present/ in the
<resourcelist>, and I can't figure out how to do that with the <delete>
task and my understanding of the standard selectors.
Here's my resource list:
<resources id="my-whitelist">
<resourcelist basedir="${some.dir}">
<url url="${target.files.url}"/>
</resourcelist>
</resources>
Basically my-whitelist is simply a list of filenames which are expected
to exist relative to ${some.dir}.
In a target, I would like to somehow use the <delete> task to delete any
files found in ${some.dir} which are /not listed in/ "my-whitelist",
like this:
<delete dir="${some.dir}">
<not>
<resources refid="my-whitelist"/>
</not>
</delete>
But this doesn't work. I also tried:
<delete>
<restrict>
<fileset dir="${some.dir}"/>
<rsel:not
xmlns:rsel="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.selectors">
<resources refid="my-whitelist"/>
</rsel:not>
</restrict>
</delete>
Which doesn't work either.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
