Property files loose formating when use propertyfile task





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-07-08 15:46 -------
I'd like to see this added, and here's why..

Since you have written a customized property file writing mechanism I was
looking at it to see if it solves one of my problems. I think if an option to
not write the date comment could be provided it would help my application. I
wind up with a whole bunch of spurious cvs commits in an automated mechanism
that I wrote for recording symlinks on my website with my <symlink> task. The
problem is due to dates changing in otherwise identical property files. While
Ideally, I should simply not write the file if there are no changes, but that
takes some work of checking for an existing file, loading it and comparing the
results. I think my task will probably run faster if I just write the file as I
am doing and this could be a simpler fix to my problem.

So if you can find a way to throw in a nodate option, I will probably rework my
<symlink> code to take advantage of it... 

On the level of details I notice that yor code will probably need some changes
before the committers accept it. Ant uses these code conventions

http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html

quick issues I saw included lines over 80, single line ifs that don't have {} 
and 

 if ( propLine == null )
        {

instead of

 if ( propLine == null ) {

Also I noticed some funny randomish spacing around some asignments.
