Description

Adjusts a text file to local conventions.

The set of files to be adjusted can be refined with the includes, includesfile, excludes, excludesfile and defaultexcludes attributes. Patterns provided through the includes or includesfile attributes specify files to be included. Patterns provided through the exclude or excludesfile attribute specify files to be excluded. Additionally, default exclusions can be specified with the defaultexcludes attribute. See the section on directory based tasks, for details of file inclusion/exclusion patterns and their usage.

This task forms an implicit FileSet and supports all attributes of <fileset> (dir becomes srcdir) as well as the nested <include>, <exclude> and <patternset> elements.

The output file is only written if it is a new file, or if it differs from the existing file. This prevents spurious rebuilds based on unchanged files which have been regenerated by this task.
