I have a not-yet-committeed patch to ant of a <different> mapper, that compares content. If files have the same timestamp and size they are considered equal, but if the timestamps are different we do a byte for byte compare.

For example the server software is reinstalled, thereby setting the modified time to current, I still want Ant to configure it based on the templates in StarTeam, which may not have been modified for a number of months. But on the same token I don't want the file to be copied every time the deploy target is called, so always setting overwrite=true will not do. > > /mike > > > Mike Dougherty > Sr. Software Engineer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] > XIFIN, Inc. | http://www.xifin.com <http://www.xifin.com/> > Ph: 760.804.0770 x47 | Fax: 760.804.0851 > > This message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
