Uptodate looks like it is intended for a many-to-one check (many input files
to one output file). Try running with -verbose to see what it is doing.

Subject: uptodate -- a second set of eyes


Hi, 

I'm wondering if someone would kindly be a second set of eyes for me..
I am attempting to use the uptodate task as follows:
But the property seems to always be true -- even when I can see (in the file
system) that ${efc.jar} is more recent than ${efc.gzfile}
I am probably doing something obvious wrong, yet I don't see it.
Can anyone else see my error???
Thanks very much,
-- Chris
