Java Tutorial/Ant/Fileset Pattern

class file set with root

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <classfileset id="zip.classes.id" dir="${build.stand-alone}">
    <root classname="org.jexp.client.Client"/>
  </classfileset>
</project>

Create a class file set

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <classfileset id="zip.classes.id" dir="${build.stand-alone}">
    <rootfileset dir="${build.stand-alone}" 
                 includes="org/jexp/**/*.class"/>
  </classfileset>

</project>

Define a pattern set

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">
  
  <patternset id="src.files">
    <include name="${src}/**"/>
    <include name="build.*"/>
  </patternset>

</project>

Dir set

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">
  
  <dirset dir="." id="implicit">
    <include name="lib/**"/>
  </dirset>


</project>

fileset based on date

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">


  <fileset dir="${src.shared}/docs">
    <include name="*.html"/>
    <date datetime="01/02/2005" pattern="DD/MM/YYYY"/>
  </fileset>
</project>

fileset based on folder and file name

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset dir="${build}/build-mysql-jdbc">
    <filename name="mysql-connector*/*.jar" negate="true"/>
  </fileset>
</project>

fileset with containsregexp

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset id="javadoc" dir="${src}">
    <include name="shared/**"/>
    <include name="stand-alone/**"/>
    <include name="web/java/**"/>
    <containsregexp expression="Licensed under the Apache Licen[sc]e"/>
  </fileset>  
</project>

fileset with depth

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">
  <fileset dir="${docs.all.dir}">
    <patternset refid="docs.all"/>
    <depth max="${user.depth}"/>
  </fileset>
</project>

fileset with exclude

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset id="javadoc" dir="${src}">
    <exclude name="*/conf/**"/>
    <exclude name="*/docs/*"/>
    <include name="shared/**"/>
    <include name="stand-alone/**"/>
    <include name="web/java/**"/>
    <depend targetdir="${docs}/api"/>
  </fileset>  
</project>

fileset with include and contians

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset id="javadoc" dir="${src}">
    <include name="shared/**"/>
    <include name="stand-alone/**"/>
    <include name="web/java/**"/>
    <contains text="Licensed under the Apache License"/>
  </fileset>  
</project>

fileset with patternset and different

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset dir="${docs.all.dir}">
    <patternset refid="docs.all"/>
    <different targetdir="${docs}/api" ignoreFileTimes="false"/>
  </fileset>
</project>

fileset with present

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset dir="${docs.all.dir}">
    <patternset refid="docs.all"/>
    <present targetdir="${docs}/api" present="srconly"/>
  </fileset>
</project>

fileset with selector

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">
  <fileset dir=".">
    <selector if="two.stars">
      <filename name="lib/**"/>
    </selector>
  </fileset>

</project>

fileset with size check

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset dir="${httpunit.home}/jars">
    <include name="*.jar"/>
    <exclude name="junit.jar"/>
    <size value="1" units="Gi" when="less"/>
  </fileset>
</project>

fileset with two containsregexp

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">
  <fileset id="javadoc" dir="${src}">
    <include name="shared/**"/>
    <include name="stand-alone/**"/>
    <include name="web/java/**"/>
    <none>
      <containsregexp expression="Licensed under the Apache Licen[sc]e"/>
      <containsregexp expression="GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICEN[SC]E"/>
    </none>
  </fileset>

</project>

flatten a filelist

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <filelist dir="lib/java" files="One.java"/>
     
  <filelist dir="lib/java">
    <file name="One.java"/>
  </filelist>
</project>

Include files into a file set

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">

  <fileset dir="${build}/build-mysql-jdbc">
    <include name="mysql-connector*/*.jar"/>
  </fileset>

</project>

Pattern set with one star

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">
  
  <patternset id="pattern.id.one.star">
    <include name="lib/*"/>   
  </patternset>


</project>

Set defaultexcludes to "no"

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Apache Ant Properties Project" basedir=".">
  

  <fileset dir="." defaultexcludes="no">
    <include name="lib/java/*.java?"/>
  </fileset>
</project>
