Ant not excluding on javac task

[sowbug]

My script will exclude whole directories in the javac task, but it
will not exclude individual files from being compiled. Can someone
please have a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I know the code got kind of jumbled, but if someone will just please
have a look at this simple problem, I know it would be easily fixed
and I will go away. Thanks.

Use a <fileset>

Thanks for responding Tony, but the javac task doesn't support the
nested <fileset> element. Not even with the new version(1.6).

sorry, you're right.
Reading up on the javac task reveals the following:

excludes Comma- or space-separated list of files (may be specified
using wildcard patterns) that must be excluded; no files (except default
excludes) are excluded when omitted.


which means you can't use <excludes> for excluding files.
But the solution:

excludesfile The name of a file that contains a list of files to
exclude (may be specified using wildcard patterns).


is quite trivial.
