http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17871 war task's webxml attrib no longer is able to use value with a starting backslash for the path in Windows Summary: war task's webxml attrib no longer is able to use value with a starting backslash for the path in Windows Product: Ant Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly) Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The "war" task's "webxml" attrib is no longer able to use a value with a starting backslash for the path in Windows. For example, if the "webxml" attrib value is specified as "\test\web.xml", in previous releases (before v1.5.2 [like v1.5Beta]), the "war" task was able to interpret this as meaning that the "web.xml" file located in the "test" directory of the project's base drive should be used. With the latest nightly build (and v1.5.2), the "war" task ignores the previous example "webxml" attrib. (Note that other attribs of the "war" task like "destfile", "basedir", etc. are able to handle correctly values that start with "\". Perhaps this is due to the fact that the "war" file subclasses the "zip" task.)
