Hi,

why doesn't this work?

this:

<target name="clean" depends="init">
  <delete dir="com" includes="*.java" />
</target>

responds with:

C:\myproject>ant clean
Buildfile: build.xml
Project base dir set to: C:\myproject
BUILD CONFIG ERROR: Configuration property "dir" does not have a set
ass org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete

anyone any idea?

Note: the manual defines a parameter includes (with an S) for the task
delete and gives an example with parameter include (without an S)! I've
tried both but that doesn't seem to be the probleem.

greetings jeroen
