Hello Marco,

this has been done in SVN (yet unreleased) but not for the replace task.

the bug report https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49261 mentioned mainly the copy task.

Do you want to open a bug report ?

Regards,

Antoine

Hi.

I am using a<replace>  ANT task in my build.xml in order to implement a kind
of "conditional compilation" in my Netbeans Java project.

Replacing works as expected, except for one point: it is able to replace
strings also on read-only files (which then become read-write after
replace). This is not a desired behavior, in my opinion (at least, not by
default), and it causes issues with our source version control system.



I think<replace>  should FAIL on read-only files by default. You may want to
consider adding a "force" attribute, such as for the<copy>  task, in order
to force replace on read-only files.



Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.



Regards,



Marco Sambin
