Last night I tried to use the PropertyFile task. Unfortunately I got the error
that ant could not find the task. seeing that it was an optional task I looked
at the library dependencies table in the manual. Unfortunately there was no
mention of the task. I then went on a three hour quest on google looking for
the jar. This morning I realized that I misspelled the task by capitalizing
the 'F' in the name, and found out that the propertyfile task is in the
standard ant distribution. Before people start replying, "hey dummy, xml is
case sensitive" I would like to ask the following:
If PropertyFile is in the standard ant distribution for 1.6.2 then why
is it an Optional task?
If It really is an optional task then why isn't it mentioned in the
library dependencies table in the manual?
It was listed in the optional tasks so I was expecting to have to find a
library for it. If either of these had been the case I would have checked my
spelling a lot sooner.
