What those mean is that there are other tasks or types with the same
name loaded via one of the numerous jars in your ant classpath. You can
make the messages go away by using namespaces, which then lets Ant
explicitly pick the right task or type. Try it like this and the
'trying to override' messages will go away:
<project name="fileutil_test" basedir="." default="test"
xmlns:a="antlib:ise.antelope.tasks">
<taskdef resource="ise/antelope/tasks/antlib.xml"
uri="ise.antelope.tasks"/>
<target name="test">
<property name="ant.jar" value="${ant.library.dir}/ant.jar"/>
<a:fileutil file="${ant.jar}" property="ant_date">
<a:lastmodified format="yyyy-MM-dd"/>
</a:fileutil>
<echo>timestamp on ant.jar is ${ant_date}</echo>
</target>
</project>
This is a good thing to do when using third-party tasks, especially if
they are from more than one source. It makes it a lot easier to figure
out what task comes from where.
