gradle: Exclude all - except one file

Question

In a gradle build I would like to exclude all files except one. I tried to do it like this:

processResources {

    // exclude everything
    exclude '*.*'

    // except this file
    include 'fileA.xml'
}

..but it does not seem to work - all files are excluded. Is this possible in some way?

Thanks for your help and input.

Remove the 'exclude' part, because when you use 'include', you don't have to use 'exclude' patterns - gradle automatically excludes all others.
