Gerry: ><delete dir="f00"/> >The delete task will not raise an error and your directory foo will not >exist.
I liked the feature that Gert suggested, but I see Gerry's point. What about this: Add an attribute, say "ignore_failures" (name open to suggestions!) that toggles the behavior described: <delete ignore_failures="false" dir="f00" /> Gert's scenario could be accomplished thusly: <delete ignore_failures="true" dir="foo" /> <!-- if foo doesn't exist, we will consider that a success --> IMO giving people the power to do what they want (with options that they can ignore if they aren't ready for them) is a more useful approach than simply having or not having a feature. Whichever scenario is the more common, would be the default (or the current behavior could be the default) Does that address your concern Gerry? Best, Bill William E.
