All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Cloneable`, `ResourceSelector`, `FileSelector`, `SelectorContainer`

public class SelectSelector extends BaseSelectorContainer
This selector just holds one other selector and forwards all requests to it. It exists so that there is a single selector type that can exist outside of any targets, as an element of project. It overrides all of the reference stuff so that it works as expected. Note that this is the only selector you can reference.

Since:
  1.5

    Specified by:
      `hasSelectors` in interface `SelectorContainer`
    Overrides:
      `hasSelectors` in class `BaseSelectorContainer`
    Returns:
      whether any selectors are in this container

  - ### selectorCount

    public int selectorCount()
    Gives the count of the number of selectors in this container
    Specified by:
      `selectorCount` in interface `SelectorContainer`

      `selectorCount` in class `BaseSelectorContainer`
    Returns:
      the number of selectors in this container

  - ### getSelectors

    public FileSelector[] getSelectors(Project p)
    Returns the set of selectors as an array.
    Specified by:
      `getSelectors` in interface `SelectorContainer`
    Overrides:
      `getSelectors` in class `BaseSelectorContainer`
    Parameters:
      `p` - the current project
    Returns:
      an array of selectors in this container

  - ### selectorElements

    public Enumeration<FileSelector> selectorElements()
    Returns an enumerator for accessing the set of selectors.
    Specified by:
      `selectorElements` in interface `SelectorContainer`
    Overrides:
      `selectorElements` in class `BaseSelectorContainer`
    Returns:
      an enumerator that goes through each of the selectors

  - ### appendSelector

    public void appendSelector(FileSelector selector)
    Add a new selector into this container.
    Specified by:
      `appendSelector` in interface `SelectorContainer`
    Overrides:
      `appendSelector` in class `BaseSelectorContainer`
    Parameters:
      `selector` - the new selector to add

  - ### verifySettings

    public void verifySettings()
    Makes sure that there is only one entry, sets an error message if not.
    Overrides:
      `verifySettings` in class `BaseSelector`

  - ### passesConditions

    public boolean passesConditions()
    Ensures that the selector passes the conditions placed on it with `if` and `unless`.
    Returns:
      true if conditions are passed

  - ### setIf

    public void setIf(Object ifProperty)
    Sets the if attribute to an expression which must evaluate to true or the name of an existing property for the selector to select any files.
    Parameters:
      `ifProperty` - the expression to check
    Since:
      Ant 1.8.0

  - ### setIf

    public void setIf(String ifProperty)
    Sets the if attribute to an expression which must evaluate to true or the name of an existing property for the selector to select any files.
    Parameters:
      `ifProperty` - the expression to check

  - ### setUnless

    public void setUnless(Object unlessProperty)
    Sets the unless attribute to an expression which must evaluate to false or the name of a property which cannot exist for the selector to select any files.

      `unlessProperty` - the expression to check

  - ### isSelected

If there is no contained selector, return true (because we assume that the point was to test the if and unless conditions).
