Interface Summary
Interface | Description
--- | ---
Parameterizable | Parameterizable objects take genric key value pairs.
ResourceCollection | Interface describing a collection of Resources.
ResourceFactory | this interface should be implemented by classes (Scanners) needing to deliver information about resources.

Class Summary
Class | Description
--- | ---
AbstractFileSet | Class that holds an implicit patternset and supports nested patternsets and creates a DirectoryScanner using these patterns.
AntFilterReader | An AntFilterReader is a wrapper class that encloses the classname and configuration of a Configurable FilterReader.
ArchiveFileSet | A ArchiveFileSet is a FileSet with extra attributes useful in the context of archiving tasks.
ArchiveScanner | ArchiveScanner accesses the pattern matching algorithm in DirectoryScanner, which are protected methods that can only be accessed by subclassing.
Assertions | The assertion datatype.
Assertions.BaseAssertion | base class for our assertion elements.
Assertions.DisabledAssertion | A disabled assertion disables things
Assertions.EnabledAssertion | an enabled assertion enables things
Commandline | Commandline objects help handling command lines specifying processes to execute.
Commandline.Argument | Used for nested xml command line definitions.
CommandlineJava | A representation of a Java command line that is a composite of 2 `Commandline`s.
CommandlineJava.SysProperties | Specialized Environment class for System properties.
Comparison | EnumeratedAttribute for generic comparisons.
DataType | Base class for those classes that can appear inside the build file as stand alone data types.
Description | Description is used to provide a project-wide description element (that is, a description that applies to a buildfile as a whole).
DirSet | Subclass as hint for supporting tasks that the included directories instead of files should be used.
DTDLocation | Helper class to handle the DTD nested element.
EnumeratedAttribute | Helper class for attributes that can only take one of a fixed list of values.
Environment | Wrapper for environment variables.
Environment.Variable | representation of a single env value
FileList | FileList represents an explicitly named list of files.
FileList.FileName | Inner class corresponding to the <file> nested element.
FileSet | Moved out of MatchingTask to make it a standalone object that could be referenced (by scripts for example).
FilterChain | FilterChain may contain a chained set of filter readers.
FilterSet | A set of filters to be applied to something.
FilterSet.Filter | Individual filter component of filterset.
FilterSet.OnMissing | EnumeratedAttribute to set behavior WRT missing filtersfiles: "fail" (default), "warn", "ignore".
FilterSetCollection | A FilterSetCollection is a collection of filtersets each of which may have a different start/end token settings.
FlexInteger | Helper class which can be used for Ant task attribute setter methods to allow the build file to specify an integer in either decimal, octal, or hexadecimal format.
LogLevel | The enumerated values for Ant's log level.
Mapper | Element to define a FileNameMapper.
Mapper.MapperType | Class as Argument to FileNameMapper.setType.
Parameter | A parameter is composed of a name, type and value.
Path | This object represents a path as used by CLASSPATH or PATH environment variable.
PatternSet | Named collection of include/exclude tags.
Permissions | This class implements a security manager meant for usage by tasks that run inside the Ant VM.
Permissions.Permission | Represents a permission.
PropertySet | A set of properties.
PropertySet.BuiltinPropertySetName | Used for propertyref's builtin attribute.
PropertySet.PropertyRef | This is a nested class containing a reference to some properties and optionally a source of properties.
Quantifier | EnumeratedAttribute for quantifier comparisons.
RedirectorElement | Element representation of a `Redirector`.
Reference | Class to hold a reference to another object in the project.
RegularExpression | A regular expression datatype.
Resource | Describes a "File-like" resource (File, ZipEntry, etc.).
ResourceLocation | Helper class to handle the `<dtd>` and `<entity>` nested elements.
Substitution | A regular expression substitution datatype.
TarFileSet | A TarFileSet is a FileSet with extra attributes useful in the context of Tar/Jar tasks.
TarScanner | Scans tar archives for resources.
TimeComparison | EnumeratedAttribute for time comparisons.
XMLCatalog | This data type provides a catalog of resource locations (such as DTDs and XML entities), based on the OASIS "Open Catalog" standard.
ZipFileSet | A ZipFileSet is a FileSet with extra attributes useful in the context of Zip/Jar tasks.
ZipScanner | Scans zip archives for resources.
