## Class NotSelector

- java.lang.Object

  - - 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:
    `java.lang.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
