Hi, I have been looking at bugzilla: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39549 The available task/type searchs for files in the parent and grandparent directories (but no higher) as well as the directories specfied. (when type = "file"). I cannot think of any reason why this is usefull behavior and think that we should change the behaviour, so as to NOT search parent and grandparent directories.
I think that this behavior was added by this change: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=270028 In the meantime, I have added an attribute to allow the behavior to be controlled. Peter
