How to exclude multiple files from processResources Gradle task

Question

I have to exclude files of type xsl and xsd from the processResources gradle task. Currently i have only excluded the xsl files and my build.gradle snippet for that looks something like the below:

processResources {
filesNotMatching("**/*.xsl") {
    expand(project.properties)
}
dependsOn versionInfo
}

I want to exclude files with extension xsd as well by including the pattern of the package in which the generated classes belong. I have come to understand that the filesNotMatching function does not take multiple arguments. What is the alternative to doing this?

Answer 1

filesNotMatching can take a String pattern or an Iterable<String>. That means the code can be:

processResources {
    filesNotMatching(["**/*.xsl", "**/*.xsd"]) {
        expand(project.properties)
    }
    dependsOn versionInfo
}
