+<h2><a name="patternset">PatternSet</a></h2>
+<p><a href="../dirtasks.html#patterns">Patterns</a> can be grouped to
+sets and later be referenced by their <code>id</code> attribute. They
+are defined via a <code>patternset</code> element, which can appear
+nested into a <a href="fileset.html">FileSet</a> or a directory-based
+task that constitutes an implicit FileSet. In addition,
+<code>patternset</code>s can be defined as a stand alone element at
+the same level as <code>target</code> &#151; i.e., as children of
+<code>project</code> as well as as children of
+<code>target</code>.</p> <p>Patterns can be specified by nested
+<code>&lt;include&gt;</code>, or <code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code> elements
+or the following attributes.</p>
+<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
+ <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">includes</td>
+ <td valign="top">comma- or space-separated list of patterns of files that must be
+ included. All files are included when omitted.</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">includesfile</td>
+ <td valign="top">the name of a file; each line of this file is
+ taken to be an include pattern. You can specify more than one
+ include file by using a nested includesfile elements.
+ <b>Note:</b> if the file is empty and there are no other
+ patterns defined for the fileset, all files will be included.

+ </tr>
+</table>
+<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
+<h4><code>include</code> and <code>exclude</code></h4>
+<p>Each such element defines a single pattern for files to include or
+exclude.</p>
+<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">

+<h4><code>includesfile</code> and <code>excludesfile</code></h4>
+<p>If you want to list the files to include or exclude external to
+your build file, you should use the includesfile/excludesfile
+attributes or elements. Using the attribute, you can only specify a
+single file of each type, while the nested elements can be specified
+more than once - the nested elements also support if/unless attributes
+you can use to test the existence of a property.</p>
+<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
+ <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">name</td>
+ <td valign="top">the name of the file holding the patterns to
+ in/exclude.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">Yes</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">if</td>
+ <td valign="top">Only read this file <a href="../properties.html#if+unless">if the named property is set</a>.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">unless</td>
+ <td valign="top">Only read this file <a href="../properties.html#if+unless">if the named property is
+ <b>not</b> set</a>.</td>

+<h4><code>patternset</code></h4>
+<p>Patternsets may be nested within one another, adding the nested
+patterns to the parent patternset.</p>
+<h4><code>invert</code></h4>
+<p>A nested patternset can be inverted using the <code>&lt;invert&gt;</code>
+element. <em>Since Apache Ant 1.7.1</em></p>
+<h3>Examples</h3>
+<blockquote><pre>
+&lt;patternset id=&quot;non.test.sources&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;include name=&quot;**/*.java&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;exclude name=&quot;**/*Test*&quot;/&gt;
+&lt;/patternset&gt;
+</pre></blockquote>
+<p>Builds a set of patterns that matches all <code>.java</code> files
+that do not contain the text <code>Test</code> in their name. This set
+can be <a href="../using.html#references">referred</a> to via
+<code>&lt;patternset refid=&quot;non.test.sources&quot;/&gt;</code>,
+by tasks that support this feature, or by FileSets.</p>
+<p>Note that while the <code>includes</code> and
+<code>excludes</code> attributes accept
+multiple elements separated by commas or spaces, the nested
+<code>&lt;include&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code> elements expect their name
+attribute to hold a single pattern.</p>
+<p>The nested elements allow you to use if and unless arguments to
+specify that the element should only be used if a property is set, or
+that it should be used only if a property is not set.</p>
+<p>For example</p>
+<blockquote><pre>
+&lt;patternset id=&quot;sources&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;include name=&quot;std/**/*.java&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;include name=&quot;prof/**/*.java&quot; if=&quot;professional&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;exclude name=&quot;**/*Test*&quot;/&gt;
+&lt;/patternset&gt;
+</pre></blockquote>
+<p>will only include the files in the sub-directory <em>prof</em> if the property
+<em>professional</em> is set to some value.</p>
+<p>The two sets</p>
+<blockquote><pre>
+&lt;patternset includesfile=&quot;some-file&quot;/&gt;
+</pre></blockquote>
+<p>and</p>
+<blockquote><pre>
+&lt;patternset&gt;
+ &lt;includesfile name=&quot;some-file&quot;/&gt;
+&lt;patternset/&gt;
+</pre></blockquote>
+<p>are identical. The include patterns will be read from the file
+<code>some-file</code>, one pattern per line.</p>
+<blockquote><pre>
+&lt;patternset&gt;
+ &lt;includesfile name=&quot;some-file&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;includesfile name=&quot;${some-other-file}&quot;
+ if=&quot;some-other-file&quot;
+ /&gt;
+&lt;patternset/&gt;
+</pre></blockquote>
+<p>will also read include patterns from the file the property
+<code>some-other-file</code> points to, if a property of that name has
+been defined.</p>
