The bug report is - if I run ant, then remove a file from the original source tree, then rerun ant, ant still tries to build that file. Methinks the copydir action might should include a check for that case, or should be deprecated in favor of a mirrordir action. I reckon this has already been reported and a religious battle of much magnitude fought over it, but I thought I'd report it anyway just in case. Hey, I'm not subscribed to this list anyway ;) - donald
