## Package org.apache.tools.ant.types

Interface Summary
Parameterizable: Parameterizable objects take genric key value pairs.
ResourceFactory: this interface should be implemented by classes (Scanners) needing to deliver information about resources.

Class Summary
AbstractFileSet: Class that holds an implicit patternset and supports nested patternsets and creates a DirectoryScanner using these patterns.
AntFilterReader: An AntFileReader is a wrapper class that encloses the classname and configuration of a Configurable FilterReader.
Assertions: The assertion datatype.
Assertions.BaseAssertion: base class for our assertion elements.
Assertions.DisabledAssertion: A disabled assertion disables things
Assertions.EnabledAssertion: an enabled assertion enables things
Commandline: Commandline objects help handling command lines specifying processes to execute.
Commandline.Argument: Used for nested xml command line definitions.
CommandlineJava: A representation of a Java command line that is a composite of 2 `Commandline`.
CommandlineJava.SysProperties: Specialized Environment class for System properties
DataType: Base class for those classes that can appear inside the build file as stand alone data types.
Description: Description is used to provide a project-wide description element (that is, a description that applies to a buildfile as a whole).
DirSet: Subclass as hint for supporting tasks that the included directories instead of files should be used.
DTDLocation: Helper class to handle the DTD nested element.
EnumeratedAttribute: Helper class for attributes that can only take one of a fixed list of values.
Environment: Wrapper for environment variables.
Environment.Variable: representation of a single env value
FileList: FileList represents an explicitly named list of files.
FileSet: Moved out of MatchingTask to make it a standalone object that could be referenced (by scripts for example).
FilterChain: FilterChain may contain a chained set of filter readers.
FilterSet: A set of filters to be applied to something.
FilterSet.Filter: Individual filter component of filterset
FilterSetCollection: A FilterSetCollection is a collection of filtersets each of which may have a different start/end token settings.
FlexInteger: Helper class which can be used for Ant task attribute setter methods to allow the build file to specify an integer in either decimal, octal, or hexadecimal format.
Mapper: Element to define a FileNameMapper.
Mapper.MapperType: Class as Argument to FileNameMapper.setType.
Parameter: A parameter is composed of a name, type and value.
Path: This object represents a path as used by CLASSPATH or PATH environment variable.
PatternSet: Named collection of include/exclude tags.
Permissions: This class implements a security manager meant for useage by tasks that run inside the ant VM.
Permissions.Permission: Represents a permission.
PropertySet: A set of properties.
PropertySet.BuiltinPropertySetName: Used for propertyref's builtin attribute.
PropertySet.PropertyRef
Reference: Class to hold a reference to another object in the project.
RegularExpression: A regular expression datatype.
Resource: describes a File or a ZipEntry this class is meant to be used by classes needing to record path and date/time information about a file, a zip entry or some similar resource (URL, archive in a version control repository, ...)
ResourceLocation: Helper class to handle the `<dtd>` and `<entity>` nested elements.
Substitution: A regular expression substitution datatype.
XMLCatalog: This data type provides a catalog of resource locations (such as DTDs and XML entities), based on the OASIS "Open Catalog" standard.
ZipFileSet: A ZipFileSet is a FileSet with extra attributes useful in the context of Zip/Jar tasks.
ZipScanner: ZipScanner accesses the pattern matching algorithm in DirectoryScanner, which are protected methods that can only be accessed by subclassing.
