Sorry for not having the right time to digg into your solution.
Two workaround come into my mind:
1. Copy your whitelisted files into a tmp directory, delete the whole src
directory and copy the whitelisted files back
2. Use <pathconvert> to convert your whitelist to an excludes-clause and use
<delete><fileset .. excludes="${whiteliste.excludes}"/>

Betreff: deleting files not in whitelist
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
