Subject: Question about warning message: file modified in the future
I'm running on a Win98 system and frequently (but not always) get this
warning message when I am compiling files in my build tree just after
copying them from my source tree.
The code generating the message (in Javac.java) is:
if (srcFile.lastModified() > now) {
log("Warning: file modified in the future: " +
files[i], Project.MSG_WARN);
}
I also remember reading somewhere that the Windows filesystem has an
accuracy of 2 seconds and I'm wondering it that is what is causing the error
message. I don't know of any other way to cause this message to be
generated.
In any case, what is the purpose of having this message being displayed?
