        - - org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.NoneSelector
          - - org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.NotSelector

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, FileSelector, SelectorContainer

      public class NotSelector
      extends NoneSelector

  This selector has one other selectors whose meaning it inverts. It actually relies on NoneSelector for its implementation of the isSelected() method, but it adds a check to ensure there is only one other selector contained within.

    1.5
