Having trouble with syntax

Hello all,

I am trying to selectively delete 80% of a directory
tree with the following calls:

   <delete includeemptydirs="true">
      <fileset dir="deploy/Webroot">
         <exclude name="WEB-INF/*.xml"/>
         <exclude name="WEB-INF/**/*"/>
      </fileset>
   </delete>

And I am ending up deleting too much.  

What I want to do is NOT delete the contents of the
WEB-INF directory NOR its sub-directories.

Any suggestions.

Hello Bohra,
Try <exclude name ="WEB-INF/**"/>
