I would like to search a word within a file.  For example I do not want to
include any *.java files in my fileset that have a 'main' method in it.


                                                                                                                      
                    "T Master"

Look at  FileSet   in the user manual.
A FileSet  can be based upon a file, that contains a list (line seperated)
of files to include.
Another file cna be used to exclude a list of files.

If you can, think about your logic use, and modify to suit.
