Hmm, Not sure why there is still a problem. I setup a simple test that
is similar to your situation like this...
mkdir -p test/A test/B test/C test/D test/E
touch test/A/new test/B/new test/C/new test/D/new test/E/new
Then I made the following build.xml...
<project name="test" default="deltest">
<property file="build.properties"/>
<target name="deltest">
<delete includeemptydirs="true" >
<fileset dir="test" excludes="${directories}">
<include name="*/**"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
</project>
And a build.properties file...
directories=A/**\ B/**\ C/**
Running ant -debug deltest shows it working OK for me...
fileset: Setup scanner in dir C:\cygwin\home\rob\test with patternSet{
includes: [*/**] excludes: [A/**, B/**, C/**] }
[delete] Deleting 2 files from C:\cygwin\home\rob\test
[delete] Deleting C:\cygwin\home\rob\test\D\new
[delete] Deleting C:\cygwin\home\rob\test\E\new
[delete] Deleting C:\cygwin\home\rob\test\E
[delete] Deleting C:\cygwin\home\rob\test\D
[delete] Deleted 2 directories from C:\cygwin\home\rob\test
Perhap there is nothing to delete that is not excluded?
