The old behaviour has been reverted and will be back for tonight's nighjtly
build.
Jesse Glick has suggested this behaviour
! What about this: when given a nonabsolute path to 'style', have it first
try
! to resolve against project basedir, and it finds it then OK. If not, try
! against task basedir, and if found then print a deprecation warning and
use
! that; else error. This would permit the task to have sane semantics and
still
! not break old scripts.
That seems workable to me.
Deprecating things in Ant hasn't been terribly popular, historically :-(
