Sorry --
The <date> selector in the <tar> task won't work. For instance:
<tar longfile="gnu" destfile="${tar.file}">
<tarfileset dir="." excludesfile="${excludes.file}">
<date datetime="${last.build.date}" when="after"/>
</tarfileset>
</tar>
Yields: "Tar$TarFileSet doesn't suppor the nested 'date' element"
Trying:
<tar longfile="gnu" destfile="${tar.file}">
<fileset dir="." excludesfile="${excludes.file}">
<date datetime="${last.build.date}" when="after"/>
</fileset>
</tar>
Yields: "Tar does not support nested 'fileset' element"
I know what you're thinking..., I double checked to make sure I was using
1.5beta1
This needs to work. Can someone let me know how to get the source for 1.5?
I'll be glad to fix it up.
thanks,
