More info: It's interesting to note that the output from Ant 1.5.4 shows: [script] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [script] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...whereas the output from Ant 1.6.2 shows: [script] reportSet.toString=fileRealm.properties [script] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ant 1.5.4 seems to know what type the references are, whereas Ant 1.6.2 uses "UnknownElement". Is that the problem? When I run the build.xml from my previous message, the output from Ant 1.5.4 is: ****** BEGIN ANT 1.5.4 OUTPUT ********* Apache Ant version 1.5.4 compiled on August 12 2003 Buildfile: build.xml Detected Java version: 1.4 in: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk142_06\jre Detected OS: Windows 2000 parsing buildfile build.xml with URI = file:M:/.../___test/build.xml Project base dir set to: M:\...\___test Build sequence for target `buildWar' is [addWarDynamic, buildWar] Complete build sequence is [addWarDynamic, buildWar] addWarDynamic: [script] reportSet.getName()=**/*.sh [script] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [script] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [script] warTask.getTaskName()=war [script] about to addZipfileset()... buildWar: [delete] Deleting: M:\...\___test\deleteMe.war [war] Building war: M:\...\___test\deleteMe.war [war] adding directory META-INF/ [war] adding entry META-INF/MANIFEST.MF [war] adding directory gfx/ [war] adding directory gfx/included/ [war] adding entry gfx/included/blank.gif ...
