Deletes a file or directory, or set of files defined by a fileset. The original delete task would delete a file, or a set of files using the include/exclude syntax. The deltree task would delete a directory tree. This task combines the functionality of these two originally distinct tasks.
Currently Delete extends MatchingTask. This is intended only to provide backwards compatibility for a release. The future position is to use nested filesets exclusively.
