package org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors;

import java.io.File;

This selector is here just to shake up your thinking a bit. Don't get too caught up in boolean, there are other ways you can evaluate a collection of selectors. This one takes a vote of the selectors it contains, and majority wins. You could also have an "all-but-one" selector, a "weighted-average" selector, and so on. These are left as exercises for the reader (as are the usecases where this would be necessary).
Since:1.5

Params:

public void setAllowtie(boolean tiebreaker) { allowtie = tiebreaker; }
Returns true (the file is selected) if most of the other selectors agree. In case of a tie, go by the allowtie setting. That defaults to true, meaning in case of a tie, the file is selected.
Params:
  • basedir – the base directory the scan is being done from
  • filename – is the name of the file to check
  • file – is a java.io.File object for the filename that the selector can use
Returns:whether the file should be selected or not
