Maybe so, but overloading tasks with different meaning/function is not good
either. Personally, I believe scripting to be much more appropriate in this
case, and is equivalent to task scripting, which exists in the Ant2
proposals, and missing in Ant1. Remember that it's pure Java scripting, this
portable, only provides access to normal JDK functionality. Anyways... --DD
With bsf.jar and js.jar in ant/lib, I get it in 3 lines of javascript:
P:\org_apache\antx>type filesize-script.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- ANT build file to test a specific feature or bug of ANT.
Dominique Devienne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> October 2002
-->
<project name="filesize" default="test" basedir=".">
<target name="test">
<!-- Sets the file.size property with the length of the
file as named in the ant.file property -->
<script language="javascript"><![CDATA[
filename = self.getProject().getProperty("ant.file");
file = new java.io.File(filename);
self.getProject().setNewProperty("file.size", file.length());
]]></script>
<echo message="current build file size is '${file.size}'" />
</target>
</project>
P:\org_apache\antx>%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant -f filesize-script.xml
Buildfile: filesize-script.xml
test:
[echo] current build file size is '680'
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
P:\org_apache\antx>

I already made an enhancement to the LoadFile task:
copy/paste (because its a final class)
add a new property (fileSizeOnly...)
Does it sound like a welcome change?
Personally I dont like scripting... I find it less clean... but maybe
somebody can convince me.. ;-)

Sounds like a task for this is overkill. How about trying out <script>? One
or two lines of JavaScript (or BeanShell, or whatever else BSF scripting
language) should do the trick. Just read carefully the dependencies section
of the manual to get the appropriate JARs you need to get it running (At
minimum bsf.jar, plus the JAR of the scripting engine). --DD

Subject: fill a property with filesize
Hi,
I want to fill a property with the size of a given file. I cant find any
existing functionality for that.
Is there a task wich can do this for me?
Should i create a new task for that?
Or should i extend an existing one? (which?)
Kind regards,
Geert Jan in 't Veld
