android winmerge filter rules

Question

I want to use winmerge to merge two directories containing android projects. I wnat to merge only source files (.java ) , resource files ( layout / values/ drawable )

Can anyone help me with the rules for fileter. This is the first time iam using winmerge. I tried the following

 ## This is a directory/file filter for WinMerge
name: Java 
desc: Suppresses various binaries found in JAVA and svn source trees
## Ignore Java bin files
f: \.class$
f: \.jar$
f: \.eclipse$
f: \.classpath$
f: \.project.properties$

but i think last 3 which i added are not right i can still see the following files in my list of compared result which i dont want

org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

project.properties

Answer 1

You did not specify whether the filter is inclusive or exclusive.

Try to add:
def: include

or just make your rules exclusive:

def: exclude
f: \.java$
f: \.xml$
... and so on
