-Rob A -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Hanna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2008 12:57 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Misleading error message from tar task I was just wondering why the tar task has a kind of misleading error message and how I would fix it or report it to be fixed. Apparently, if the tar task cannot find any files to include in the destination, it just reports that there is nothing to do, that the tar file is up to date. A previous thread talked about this in ant 1.3 here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-user/200108.mbox/%3Cm3d769n [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found the same thing happens in ant 1.7. What would need to happen to change that from the generic message which is probably a default message to something more appropriate like WARNING: no input files found, blah.tar.gz not created. I would think throwing an error would throw some people's existing ant targets off, but a more accurate warning might be nice for debugging problems like this.
