ANT: Collate files

/ Published in: Other
Save to your folder(s)
Simple file concatenation target using the concat task. The to and from directories are set in properties at the top. The first concat clears the file and writes a JS comment with the date on it, the second uses both a filelist (where you write filenames manually) and a fileset (where you just write a filter) to select the files to include.
