Folks,
The following is noted in the whatsnew.txt in the binary distribution:
Ant will now search for a file named build.xml in the parent directory and above (towards the root of the filesystem) if you didn't specify -buildfile and there is no build.xml in the current directory.
I was curious what drove this change. We have located all of our targets in the same directory as our build.xml. Why start with the parent. I am sure that there is sound reasoning for this. The task was working fine for us till this change.
Thanks for your time,
don.
