http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1550 delete task follow symbolic links ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-12-24 13:06 ------- I don't think it makes sense for Ant to introduce some special case behavior for symlinks for a few special commands. That will just lead to confusion about how Ant treats symlinks since it will be trying to not simply do what Java does with them (which is to see them as the actual file or directory). As has been mentioned, this is something that will eventually be addressed by the JVM: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4313887.html That said, if Ant does try to do anything special with regard to symlinks, which does seem useful in the delete task, it should be special behavior only activated with an attribute that is normally false. Among other things, that will ensure backward compatibility. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
