Thanks Ivan, that is great... Re: the repackage - move certainly would be a start, but I was looking for a repackage task that would recurse from a point (ie. '.') and move all dirs/java sources/props files etc.. into a new package structure...
Ie. From com.oldapp to com.newapp .. But also, I would want it to rename any paths in the files (ie. Com/oldapp to com/newapp) and any package names / import statements... I had to write something like this last week, it is not quite generic enough to make it an offering as an optional task as yet... but I wondered if there was anything else out there like this.... I saw a rename packages task on java.dev.net somewhere but it did not seem to work..

You can use ant-contrib[1] task PropertyRegex, an example copied directly from[2] shows that it is possible: <propertyregex property="pack.name" input="package.ABC.name" regexp="package\.([^\.]*)\.name" select="\1" casesensitive="false" /> This will yield ABC. Or you can using a scripting language (like javascript) in ant to manipulate your string (but I am not so good in it to provide sample). > > 2) Is there a rename packages ANT task? > There is a <move> task that can rename the packages viewed as directories.
