A {@code PatternFilterable} represents some file container which Ant-style include and exclude patterns or specscan be applied to.
Patterns may include:
Either '/' or '\' may be used in a pattern to separate directories. Patterns ending with '/' or '\' will have '**' automatically appended.
Examples:
all files ending with 'jsp' (including subdirectories) **/*.jsp all files beginning with 'template_' in the level1/level2 directory level1/level2/template_ all files (including subdirectories) beneath src/main/webapp src/main/webapp/ all files beneath any .svn directory (including subdirectories) under src/main/java src/main/java/**/.svn/
You may also use a closure or {@link Spec} to specify which files to include or exclude. The closure or {@link Spec}is passed a {@link org.gradle.api.file.FileTreeElement}, and must return a boolean value.
If no include patterns or specs are specified, then all files in this container will be included. If any include patterns or specs are specified, then a file is included if it matches any of the patterns or specs.
If no exclude patterns or spec are specified, then no files will be excluded. If any exclude patterns or specs are specified, then a file is include only if it matches none of the patterns or specs.
