getAsFileTree

public FileTree getAsFileTree()
Returns this.
Returns:
this

matching

public FileTree matching(Closure filterConfigClosure)

Restricts the contents of this tree to those files matching the given filter. The filtered tree is live, so that any changes to this tree are reflected in the filtered tree.

The given closure is used to configure the filter. A PatternFilterable is passed to the closure as its delegate. Only files which match the specified include patterns will be included in the filtered tree. Any files which match the specified exclude patterns will be excluded from the filtered tree.

Parameters:
filterConfigClosure - the closure to use to configure the filter.
Returns:

matching

public FileTree matching(PatternFilterable patterns)

Restricts the contents of this tree to those files matching the given filter. The filtered tree is live, so that any changes to this tree are reflected in the filtered tree.

Parameters:
patterns - the pattern set to use to configure the filter.
Returns:
The filtered tree.

plus

public FileTree plus(FileTree fileTree)
Returns a FileTree which contains the union of this tree and the given tree. The returned tree is live, so that changes to either this tree or the other source tree are reflected in the returned tree.
Parameters:
fileTree - The tree. Should not be null.
Returns:
The union of this tree and the given tree.

visit

public FileTree visit(FileVisitor visitor)
Visits the files and directories in this file tree. Files are visited in depth-first prefix order, so that a directory is visited before its children.
Parameters:
visitor - The visitor.
Returns:
this

visit

public FileTree visit(Closure visitor)
Visits the files and directories in this file tree. Files are visited in depth-first prefix order, so that a directory is visited before its children. The file/directory to be visited is passed to the given closure as a FileVisitDetails
Parameters:
visitor - The visitor.
