I'm doing this on windows2000, NTFS system using ant1.4.1. I was surprised to find this behavior and the only other co-worker who's using ant observed the similiar thing. Do you have any idea why? Thank you.

If copy really does not work for you, then it may be due to clock differences across a network, or something. As an aside, are you doing this on a DOS, rather than NTFS file system? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ma, Jian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Ant Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 6:37 PM Subject: RE: copying on files changed > my experience with copy is that if the destination file exists already, it > doesn't do anything even if you've made changes to the src file(It could be > I didn't set some attribute correctly).
