I have a bunch of sub projects in various directories. I want to specify them as a list, then for a given target I want to go through each one, one-by-one and call subant. I've got something like: <target name="run"> <subant target="run" failonerror="true" verbose="true"> <fileset dir="${projectA}" includes="build.xml"/> ...
I have a populated fileset and I need to print the matching filenames into a text file. I tried this: <fileset id="myfileset" dir="../sounds"> <include name="*.wav" /> <include name="*.ogg" /> </fileset> <property name="sounds" refid="myfileset" /> <echo file="sounds.txt">${sounds}</echo> which prints all the files on a sing...
I have a fileset element in a build file that is defined as: <fileset id="fileset" basedir="."> <include name="test.txt"/> <include name="missing.txt"/> </fileset> When this runs (as part of a copy task), it does not complain if any of the files are missing. Whilst I can use failonempty="true" in the fileset element, this only...
I would like to create a target that cleans log files older than 7 days old in a specific folder. I get an error when I try to put in a "date" element inside a fileset. How can I go about this? <delete> fileset basedir="${StageIISRoot}/MySite/App_Data/ErrorLog"> <date datetime="${datetime::now() - timespan::from-days(7)}" when=...
I'm using ant 1.6.2 and am trying to set up a task that will compare a source and a target directory, identify all the subdirectories that exist in the source directory and delete liked named subdirectories in the target directory. So, say the source directory has sub directories sub1, sub2, and sub3 in it and the target directory has s...

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 incomple...

Hi, I am using Ant script to generate javadoc and I just only wnt Ant to look for some classes based on a certain pattern, so I wrote: <javadoc access="public" source="1.6" sourcepath="src" destdir="dest" > <fileset dir="src" casesensitive="yes" defaultexcludes="yes"> <filename name="**/ABC*.java"/> </fileset> </javadoc> ...
I feel like I'm missing something obvious at the moment. I want to collect a set of dirs / files together in ANT. I know I can do it using a fileset with an optional patternset inside it, but that involves searching for files based a specific criterior - filetype, name etc. I already know the paths to the files I want to collect. I have...
Let's say I have a collection of PDF files with the following paths: /some/path/pdfs/birds/duck.pdf /some/path/pdfs/birds/goose.pdf /some/path/pdfs/insects/fly.pdf /some/path/pdfs/insects/mosquito.pdf What I'd like to do is generate thumbnails for each PDF that respect the relative path structure, and output to another location, i.e.:...

Hello everyone, My ultimate goal is the following : delete all content from a directory that is older than a given date. What I'm willing to achieve is removing all backup directories that are more than 7 days old compared to today's date. I could check the directories based on their OS timestamp (Windows 2003) or the directory name wh...
I am using the jar task in ant and wish to exclude a certain directory. The structure of the directories is something like: food |_ fruits |_ apples |_ bananas (having been made generic and simplified a little) And I have an ant task like this: <jar destfile="Dest.jar"> ... <fileset dir="food"> <excl...

Hello everyone, I get a very confusing reaction from my ant build-file and I'm wondering whether I'm just not clever enough or this might actually be a bug. I've got the following property set globally in my project: <property name="lib.dir" location="lib"/> Then I'll try to add some files out of this directory into a jar file via f...
We are using Hudson as our build machine and I am trying to configure the excludes fileset for the Compilier Warnings plugin. Hudson parses the build log to determine warnings/errors and our Clover scripts output duplicates of real warnings. As documented by Hudson you can configure an ANT fileset to exclude certain warnings: Warnin...
