Gang,

Ant version: 1.3
JDK version: 1.3.1

I'm trying to delete the Emacs backup files
from my tree using this target:

     <target name="clean">
     <delete>
       <fileset dir="." includes="**/*~"/>
     </delete>
     </target>

It is pretty late, but I can't be that dumb.

Oh! Emacs backup files are the same name as the file
editted followed by a tilde (~) character:

   myfile.java
   myfile.java~

Thanks for your time!
