http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28558 Lost functionality by deprecating Rename task Summary: Lost functionality by deprecating Rename task Product: Ant Version: 1.5.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to the Ant documentation for the Rename task: "This task has been deprecated. Use the Move task instead." However, the Move task does not have all the functionality of the Rename task. Specifically, Rename allows the user to specify replace="false". The Move task does not provide the user this crucial functionality. The Move task does allow the user to specify overwrite="false", but this still allows the Move task to overwrite a file if the file to be overwritten happens to be older. I would suggest either "undeprecating" the Rename task or improving the Move task to support all of Rename's functionality.
