The problem I have with the automatic copy is not with the copying of .properties, but with other files that are in my source tree. Namely, .sqlj files that are used to generate the .java files. I also have various java files that I just rename to SomeFile.java.old or SomeFile.java.tmp so it's not compiled with the current build. I don't want these files copied as support files. At the very least, the automatic copy should be limited to .properties files, but my preference would be to see the automatic copy removed from the javac task and replaced with the usage of <copydir>. michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sneakerlabs.com
