Interface Summary
Appendable: Interface to be implemented by "appendable" resources.
AppendableResourceCollection: Interface describing a collection of Resources, to which elements can be appended.
FileProvider: This is an interface that resources that can provide a file should implement.
Touchable: Interface to be implemented by "touchable" resources; that is, those whose modification time can be altered.
URLProvider: This is an interface that resources that can provide an URL should implement.

Class Summary
AbstractClasspathResource: A Resource representation of anything that is accessed via a Java classloader.
AbstractClasspathResource.ClassLoaderWithFlag
AbstractResourceCollectionWrapper: Base class for a ResourceCollection that wraps a single nested ResourceCollection.
AllButFirst: ResourceCollection that contains all resources of another collection except for the first `count` elements, a la the UNIX tail command with parameter `-n +count`.
AllButLast: ResourceCollection that contains all resources of another collection except for the last `count` elements, a la the UNIX head command with parameter `-n -count`.
ArchiveResource: A Resource representation of an entry inside an archive.
Archives: A resource collection that treats all nested resources as archives and returns the contents of the archives as its content.
BaseResourceCollectionContainer: Base class for ResourceCollections that nest multiple ResourceCollections.
BaseResourceCollectionWrapper: Base class for a ResourceCollection that wraps a single nested ResourceCollection.
BCFileSet: Utility FileSet that includes directories for backwards-compatibility with certain tasks e.g.
BZip2Resource: A Bzip2 compressed resource.
CompressedResource: A compressed resource.
ContentTransformingResource: A resource that transforms the content of another resource.
Difference: ResourceCollection representing the difference between two or more nested ResourceCollections.
FileResource: A Resource representation of a File.
FileResourceIterator: Iterator of FileResources from filenames.
Files: ResourceCollection implementation; like AbstractFileSet with absolute paths.
First: ResourceCollection that contains the first `count` elements of another ResourceCollection, a la the UNIX head command.
GZipResource: A GZip compressed resource.
Intersect: ResourceCollection representing the intersection of multiple nested ResourceCollections.
JavaConstantResource: A resource that is a java constant.
JavaResource: A Resource representation of something loadable via a Java classloader.
Last: ResourceCollection that contains the last `count` elements of another ResourceCollection, a la the UNIX tail command.
LazyResourceCollectionWrapper: Resource collection which load underlying resource collection only on demand with support for caching
LogOutputResource: Output-only Resource that always appends to Ant's log.
MappedResource: A decorator around a different resource that uses a mapper to dynamically remap the resource's name.
MappedResourceCollection: Wrapper around a resource collections that maps the names of the other collection using a configured mapper.
MultiRootFileSet: Union of file/dirsets that share the same patterns and selectors but have different roots.
PropertyResource: Exposes an Ant property as a Resource.
ResourceDecorator: Abstract class that delegates all reading methods of Resource to its wrapped resource and deals with reference handling.
ResourceList: Reads a resource as text document and creates a resource for each line.
Resources: Generic `ResourceCollection`: Either stores nested `ResourceCollection`s, making no attempt to remove duplicates, or references another `ResourceCollection`.
Restrict: ResourceCollection that allows a number of selectors to be applied to a single ResourceCollection for the purposes of restricting or narrowing results.
SizeLimitCollection: ResourceCollection that imposes a size limit on another ResourceCollection.
Sort: ResourceCollection that sorts another ResourceCollection.
StringResource: Exposes a string as a Resource.
TarResource: A Resource representation of an entry in a tar archive.
Tokens: ResourceCollection consisting of StringResources gathered from tokenizing another ResourceCollection with a Tokenizer implementation.
Union: ResourceCollection representing the union of multiple nested ResourceCollections.
URLResource: Exposes a URL as a Resource.
ZipResource: A Resource representation of an entry in a zipfile.

Enum Summary
MultiRootFileSet.SetType: What to return from the set: files, directories or both.

Exception Summary
ImmutableResourceException: Exception thrown when an attempt is made to get an OutputStream from an immutable Resource.
