<h2><a name="dirset">DirSet</a></h2>
<p>A DirSet is a group of directories. These directories can be found in a
directory tree starting in a base directory and are matched by
patterns taken from a number of <a href="patternset.html">PatternSets</a>
and <a href="selectors.html">Selectors</a>.
</p>
<p>PatternSets can be specified as nested
<code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code> elements. In addition, DirSet holds
an implicit PatternSet and supports the nested
<code>&lt;include&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;includesfile&gt;</code>,
<code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;excludesfile&gt;</code>
elements of <code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code> directly, as well as
<code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code>'s attributes.</p>
<p>Selectors are available as nested elements within the DirSet.
If any of the selectors within the DirSet do not select the directory, it
is not considered part of the DirSet. This makes a DirSet
equivalent to an <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> selector container.</p>

<h4>Examples</h4>

<blockquote><pre>
&lt;dirset dir=&quot;${build.dir}&quot;&gt;
  &lt;include name=&quot;apps/**/classes&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;exclude name=&quot;apps/**/*Test*&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/dirset&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Groups all directories named <code>classes</code> found under the
<code>apps</code> subdirectory of <code>${build.dir}</code>, except those
that have the text <code>Test</code> in their name.</p>

<blockquote><pre>
&lt;dirset dir=&quot;${build.dir}&quot;&gt;
  &lt;patternset id=&quot;non.test.classes&quot;&gt;
    &lt;include name=&quot;apps/**/classes&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;exclude name=&quot;apps/**/*Test*&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/patternset&gt;
&lt;/dirset&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Groups the same directories as the above example, but also establishes
a PatternSet that can be referenced in other
<code>&lt;dirset&gt;</code> elements, rooted at a different directory.</p>

<blockquote><pre>
&lt;dirset dir=&quot;${debug_build.dir}&quot;&gt;
  &lt;patternset refid=&quot;non.test.classes&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/dirset&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Groups all directories in directory <code>${debug_build.dir}</code>,
using the same patterns as the above example.</p>

<blockquote><pre>
&lt;dirset id=&quot;dirset&quot; dir=&quot;${workingdir}&quot;&gt;
   &lt;present targetdir=&quot;${workingdir}&quot;&gt;
        &lt;mapper type=&quot;glob&quot; from=&quot;*&quot; to=&quot;*/${markerfile}&quot; /&gt;
   &lt;/present&gt;
&lt;/dirset&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Selects all directories somewhere under <code>${workingdir}</code>
which contain a <code>${markerfile}</code>.</p>
