Hi,
In the manual it is stated that if the "includes" attribute is omitted for
the <javac> task, all .java files are included.
If this is interpreted as "the default value is **/*.java" then the
documentation is not entirely correct. I find it somewhat annoying that
<javac> outputs (in verbose mode) lines of the form:
Foo.properties skipped - don't know how to handle it
for all files with different extension than .java. So to avoid this i set
the value to **/*.java.
Another question: The behaviour of most Ant tasks when called with a
<fileset> not matching any files seems to be to don't do anything. Maybe
the tasks should in verbose mode output a message that there is nothing to
do. What do you think?
Regards,
