http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28558 Lost functionality by deprecating Rename task ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-04-26 06:20 ------- The <rename> task performs only a FileUtils.rename(). replace=true and dest-file exists - <rename> would delete the dest-file - <move> does the same replace=true and dest-file does not exist - nothing special to do - simple <move> works replace=false and dest-file exists - <rename> throws a BuildException - <move> will delete the dest-file (the 'overwrite' attribute of the renameFile () seems to be ignored). - you shouldn´t depend on a BuildException here. Cleaner buildfiles would call a <delete> before the <move> replace=false and dest-file does not exist - nothing special to do - simple <move> works I won´t close this because of the 'overwrite'-statement above. Maybe that section will be updated. But the <rename> will be left deprecated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
