How to use -path and -prune with find
OK, I'm trying search and destroy tabs again.

This time I'm having trouble excluding certain directories from my search.

Here is what I have tried and it is not ignoring the top level build directory:

Code:
find . -path ./build -prune -name \*.java -o -print | xargs grep -i ' '

I don't understand the -o and -print either. Don't they default to printing them all the time? They seem to be necessary when I was experimenting with using -regex instead of -name.

Thanks,
Siegfried

DESCRIPTION

       The JPackage Project has two primary goals:

       Our RPMs are generic in that they should work on any RPM based Linux distribution (Mandriva, Red Hat, SuSE, others). Other packaging format
	 suggestions are welcome too.
