How can I create an ant fileset which excludes certain directories based on the contents of the directory?
I use ant to create a distribution jar which has each localization in separate directories, some of which are incomplete and should not be released.
I would like to add something to the directory (for example a file named incomplete.flag
) so that ant excludes the directory. Then I can delete the file when translation is complete, and include it in the build without modifying build.xml.
Given this directory structure:
proj
+ locale
+ de-DE
+ en-US
+ fr-FR
This fileset excludes all incompelte.flag
files, but how can I exclude the entire directories that contain them?
<fileset dir="${basedir}">
<include name="locale/"/>
<exclude name="locale/*/incomplete.flag">
</fileset>
I can write an ant task if need be, but I'm hoping the fileset
can handle this use case.
