Hi Brian, I am using JDK 5.0u14 and Ant 1.6.5 on Windows XP. And I cannot move to Ant 1.7.0 since this is a big project and I would have to convince a lot of people. ( I can add other third party tasks if necessary though )
And Gilbert's solution worked on Ant 1.6.5. regards, Hari On Jan 16, 2008 1:14 AM, Brian Bassett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This works for me with Ant 1.7.0.
