We have seen a cryptic error message from the jar task. If the basedir directory does not exist, ant writes the following message
BUILD FAILED C:\src\ant-jar-filespec-prob\build.xml:49: C:\src\ant-jar-filespec-prob\bad-base-dir-not-exists not found. Total time: 0 seconds However if the basedir value is set to an existing directory with a space character appended, ant writed the following message BUILD FAILED C:\src\ant-jar-filespec-prob\build.xml:99: IO error scanning directory C:\src\ant-jar-filespec-prob\jar-root Total time: 2 seconds I plan to create a bug report, since the "IO error scanning" error message is hard to understand.
