Firstly define class path and MakeDirDiff Ant task

 <!--  Define required jars  -->
    <path id="taskDependencies">
        <pathelement location="./ant.jar"/>
        <pathelement location="./jsCssMin-1.0.jar"/>
        <pathelement location="./makeDirDiff-1.4.jar"/>
    </path>

    <!--  Defind MakeDirDiff Ant task  -->
    <taskdef name="makeDirDiff" classname="org.grenader.makedirdiff.MakeDirDiff">
        <classpath refid="taskDependencies"/>
    </taskdef>

Basic Example of using makeDirDiff Ant task

    <!--   Basic Example of using makeDirDiff Ant task   -->
    <target name="example">
        <!--
        Execute the makeDirDiff task
          "./original" - original data directory. It's defined as a nested fileset item
          "./result" - result directory. It's defined as a destDir attribute
          "./previous" - previous data directory. It's defined as a prevDir attribute
          "cleanDestDir - true/false, not required. If "true" result directory will be                          
                          cleaned before copying new/changed files into it.
        -->
        <makeDirDiff
                destDir="./result"
                prevDir="./previous">
            <fileset dir="./original"/>
        </makeDirDiff>
    </target>

Cleaning result (destination) directory by MakeDirDiff Ant task.

Since version makeDirDiff 1.4

    <!--   Cleaning result (destination) directory by makeDirDiff Ant task   -->
    <target name="example">
        <!--
        Execute the makeDirDiff task
