DefaultExcludes Task

DefaultExcludes

since Ant 1.6

Alters the default excludes for all subsequent processing in the build, and prints out the current default excludes if desired.

Attribute	Description	Required
echo	whether or not to print out the default excludes.(defaults to false)	atribute "true" required if no other argument specified
add	the pattern to add to the default excludes	if no other atribute is specified
remove	remove the specified pattern from the default excludes	if no other atribute is specified

Print out the default excludes

  <defaultexcludes echo="true"/>

Print out the default excludes and exclude all *.bak files in all further processing

  <defaultexcludes echo="true" add="**/*.bak"/>

Silently allow several fileset based tasks to operate on emacs backup files and then restore normal behavior

  <defaultexcludes remove="**/*~"/>

  (do several fileset based tasks here)

  <defaultexcludes add="**/*~"/>
