File Patterns

A list of file names or patterns to match. Each file/pattern must be entered on a new line. You can specify an exact file with it's path or you can use pattern matching.

You can exclude files by prefixing the file name or pattern with a dash. e.g -*.ignore. Exclude patterns always take precedence over include patterns.

More information about pattern wild cards can be found on the Ant Pattern Usage page
