I thought I responded 8-) Your original use case was >>> # ln -fs /path/to/test/testfiles/* /path/to/test/linkdir/ which more or less directly translates to <apply executable="ln" dest="/path/to/test/linkdir"> <fileset dir="/path/to/test/testfiles"/> <mapper type="identity"/> <arg value="-sf"/> <srcfile/> <targetfile/> </apply> (not tested and not 100% sure about the mapper since I don't remember whether it receives a relative or absolute filename) This gives you your symlinks with built-in dependency checking (the task won't try to re-create existing symlinks).
