## Class Date

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.selectors.Date

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ResourceSelector

      public class Date
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements ResourceSelector

  Date ResourceSelector. Based on the date FileSelector, with the most notable difference being the lack of support for the includedirs attribute. It is recommended that the effect of includeDirs = "false" be achieved for resources by enclosing a "dir" Type ResourceSelector and a Date ResourceSelector in an Or ResourceSelector.
  Since:
    Ant 1.7
