public interface FileCollection extends Iterable<File>, AntBuilderAware, Buildable
A
FileCollectionrepresents a collection of files which you can query in certain ways. A file collection is often used to define a classpath, or to add files to a container.You can obtain a
FileCollectioninstance usingProject.files(java.lang.Object...).

Method Detail
-
getSingleFile
File getSingleFile() throws IllegalStateException
Returns the content of this collection, asserting it contains exactly one file.- Returns:
- The file.
- Throws:
IllegalStateException- when this collection does not contain exactly one file.
-
getFiles
Set<File> getFiles()
Returns the contents of this collection as a Set.- Returns:
- The files. Returns an empty set if this collection is empty.
-
contains
boolean contains(File file)
Determines whether this collection contains the given file. Generally, this method is more efficient than callinggetFiles().contains(file).- Parameters:
file- The file to check for.- Returns:
- true if this collection contains the given file, false otherwise.
-
getAsPath
String getAsPath()
Returns the contents of this collection as a platform-specific path. This can be used, for example, in an Ant <path> element.- Returns:
- The path. Returns an empty string if this collection is empty.
-
plus
FileCollection plus(FileCollection collection)
Returns a
FileCollectionwhich contains the union of this collection and the given collection. The returned collection is live, and tracks changes to both source collections.You can call this method in your build script using the
+operator.- Parameters:
collection- The other collection. Should not be null.- Returns:
- A new collection containing the union.
-
minus
FileCollection minus(FileCollection collection)
Returns a
FileCollectionwhich contains the difference between this collection and the given collection. The returned collection is live, and tracks changes to both source collections.You can call this method in your build script using the
-operator.- Parameters:
collection- The other collection. Should not be null.- Returns:
- A new collection containing the difference.
-
filter
FileCollection filter(Closure filterClosure)
Restricts the contents of this collection to those files which match the given criteria. The filtered collection is live, so that it reflects any changes to this collection.
The given closure is passed the File as a parameter, and should return a boolean value.
- Parameters:
filterClosure- The closure to use to select the contents of the filtered collection.- Returns:
- The filtered collection.
-
filter
FileCollection filter(Spec<? super File> filterSpec)
Restricts the contents of this collection to those files which match the given criteria. The filtered collection is live, so that it reflects any changes to this collection.
- Parameters:
filterSpec- The criteria to use to select the contents of the filtered collection.- Returns:
- The filtered collection.
-
isEmpty
boolean isEmpty()
Returns true if this collection is empty. Generally, calling this method is more efficient than callinggetFiles().isEmpty().- Returns:
- true if this collection is empty, false otherwise.
-
getAsFileTree
FileTree getAsFileTree()
Converts this collection to aFileTree. Generally, for each file in this collection, the resulting file tree will contain the source file at the root of the tree. For each directory in this collection, the resulting file tree will contain all the files under the source directory.- Returns:
- this collection as a
FileTree. Never returns null.
-
addToAntBuilder
void addToAntBuilder(Object builder, String nodeName, FileCollection.AntType type)
Adds this collection to an Ant task as a nested node. The given type determines how this collection is added:FileCollection.AntType.MatchingTask: adds this collection to an Ant MatchingTask. The collection is converted to a set of source directories and include and exclude patterns. The source directories as added as an Ant Path with the given node name. The patterns are added using 'include' and 'exclude' nodes.FileCollection.AntType.FileSet: adds this collection as zero or more Ant FileSets with the given node name.FileCollection.AntType.ResourceCollection: adds this collection as zero or more Ant ResourceCollections with the given node name.
FileCollection.AntType.ResourceCollection, if the target Ant task supports it, as this is generally the most efficient. Using the other types may involve copying the contents of this collection to a temporary directory.- Parameters:
builder- The builder to add this collection to.nodeName- The target node name.type- The target Ant type
-
addToAntBuilder
Object addToAntBuilder(Object builder, String nodeName)
Adds this collection to an Ant task as a nested node. Equivalent to callingaddToAntBuilder(builder, nodeName,AntType.ResourceCollection).- Specified by:
