# Class NotSelector

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
org.apache.tools.ant.types.DataType
org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.BaseSelector
org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.BaseSelectorContainer
org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.NoneSelector
org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.NotSelector

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Cloneable`, `ResourceSelector`, `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.

Since:
  1.5
