<h2 id="dirset">DirSet</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>

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

<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>
<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>

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

<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;*/${markerfile}&quot;/&gt;
   &lt;/present&gt;
&lt;/dirset&gt;
</pre>
<p>Selects all directories somewhere under <samp>${workingdir}</samp> which contain
a <samp>${markerfile}</samp>.</p>
