# Filtering Public Packages

The `<public>` element supports certain attributes and nested elements to allow pattern-based inclusion and exclusion. It follows the same rules as Ant's `FileSet` element. Please see the documentation for `FileSet` for a general overview.

The `<public>` element does not support the full `FileSet` semantics. Only the following attributes and nested elements are currently supported:

- The `includes` attribute
- The `excludes` attribute
- The `defaultexcludes` attribute
- The `casesensitive` attribute
- Nested `include` tags
- Nested `exclude` tags

Other attributes and nested elements are not supported.

### Important

The default value of `defaultexcludes` is `true`. By default, the patterns listed here are excluded.
