Thanks. That does it, but what's the story on this set of messages that are displayed when I run the task?

Hi Charles, There seems to be an issue with the antelope.taskdef file for a few tasks. Try using the antlib.xml instead. The example below works fine for me using the current AntelopeTasks_3.4.2.jar from http://antelope.tigris.org. I tested this on both Ant 1.6.5 and 1.7.0. <project name="fileutil_test" basedir="." default="test"> <taskdef resource="ise/antelope/tasks/antlib.xml"/> <target name="test"> <property name="ant.jar" value="${ant.library.dir}/ant.jar"/> <fileutil file="${ant.jar}" property="ant_date"> <lastmodified format="yyyy-MM-dd"/> </fileutil> <echo>timestamp on ant.jar is ${ant_date}</echo> </target> </project> I did notice that on your date format, I think you wanted MM rather than mm.
