reverse FileSet utility?
Is there a reverse FileSet Utility somewhere in the code? Writing an
ant task and I want to take a FileSet and make it's inverse. I couldn't
find one.
thanks,
dean

actually I was looking for an easy way to take one FileSet and create
another FileSet where everything was the opposite. I needed to pass
these FileSets to other ant tasks. At any rate, I discovered a
different method 5 seconds before your e-mail and just finished it. It
is not as clean as a
FileSet normal;
FileSet inverse = normal.getInverseFileSet();
call, but I think it will do fine for now.
thanks,
dean

What is the inverse of a FileSet?
The set of files that are not in the FileSet? See the <not> selector
or the getNotIncludedFiles and getExcludedFiles methods in
DirectoryScanner.
