I'm wondering if cocoon or ant supports a command like "keep", to keep a
directory and its associated files created by another app during
"forrest clean" process.
<!-- Please note, I'm using the "clean" subset command, "clean-site" for
demo and clarity sake -->
<!-- as is -->
<target name="clean-site" depends="init-props"
description="* Clean the project generated documents directory">
<delete failonerror="false" dir="${project.site-dir}"/>
<delete failonerror="false" file="${project.brokenlinkfile}"/>
</target>
<!-- to be or desirable state -->
<target name="clean-site" depends="init-props"
description="* Clean the project generated documents directory">
<delete failonerror="false" dir="${project.site-dir}"/>
<delete failonerror="false" file="${project.brokenlinkfile}"/>
<!-- NEW -- >
<keep failonerror="false" dir="${project.site-keep-dir}"/>
<!-- project.site-keep-dir is defined elsewhere in this xml file -->
</target>
Is this approach doable? What needs to happen at ant side or ?
TIA.
