Fine! Important thing is task is now OK. Would have saved some time though if a bug tracking system was available (I know the context and that a "replacement" is coming, I'm just pointing a concrete example) :-) Was a good excuse to modif and build Ant myself anyway! > JDK 1.1 > (and Ant can be run on these VMs) doesn't have a way to set the > modification time of a file. Are there plans to drop support for 1.1 or do we have to check for backward compatibility all the time? Producing inconsistent results depending on the VM version is not an ideal situation. Impacts to performance and maintainability will also be noticable over time. I will check next time anyway! Ciao, Jacques
