how to exclude files on javadoc ant script

Question

How can I make an Ant Javadoc class exclude two files?

Excluding some source files from javadoc generation using ANT

I get the same problem, but i didn't solve it yet... I've tried some of these solutions, but no one worked for me.

my code:

<target name="javadocs">
<mkdir dir="${docs.dir}" />
<fileset dir="${project.dir}\src" defaultexcludes="yes">
  <exclude name=".externalToolBuilders\**"/>
</fileset>
<javadoc 
    excludepackagenames=".externalToolBuilders\**"
    sourcepath="${project.dir}" 
    destdir="${docs.dir}" 
    classpath="${project.dir}" 
    author="true" version="true" 
    use="true" 
    doctitle="&lt;h1&gt;${app.name}&lt;/h1&gt;" />

EDIT-1:

after I tried this:

<javadoc 
sourcepath="${project.dir}" 
destdir="${docs.dir}" 
classpath="${project.dir}" 
author="true" version="true" 
use="true" >            
<fileset dir="${project.dir}\src" defaultexcludes="yes">
  <include name="**/*.java"/>
  <exclude name=".externalToolBuilders/**"/>
</fileset>
</javadoc>

I got this error:

Answer 1

you can do it in this way:

<javadoc 
    destdir="${docs.dir}" 
    author="true" version="true" 
    use="true" 
    doctitle="Test" >
    <fileset dir="${project.dir}/src" defaultexcludes="yes">
         <include name="**/*.java"/>
         <exclude name=".externalToolBuilders/**"/>
    </fileset>
</javadoc>
