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.
