Hi, I do not know a generic way. Some tasks do this "spontaneously" such as copy.
excerpt from doc of copy : Copies a file or FileSet to a new file or directory. By default, files are only copied if the source file is newer than the destination file, or when the destination file does not exist. However, you can explicitly overwrite files with the overwrite attribute. sync is a new task of ant 1.6. Maybe it contains features which are of interest to you. Otherwise, you can write a custom task or a custom selector to find the files in a fileset which are newer than the corresponding files of another fileset. If you write the custom selector, I am interested to commit it (if it is well written).
