thank you but I have found the issue. Someone who actually read what I posted
and didn't focus on irrelevant matters pointed out that if my target file was
in the /deploy directory, then my include did not need to include the "deploy"
folder again.
Thank you for worrying so much about optimizing my build but i assure you, the
answer was there for you to see if you had taken the time to actually listen to
me.
Apparently for some reason ANT decided to read garbage out of somewhere -
memory/disk/somewhere - and then decided to parse it.
It certainly should have thrown a different error, since NO PROPERTIES were
actually involved. like i said.
thank you again. hopefully this will teach you to not dismiss people so
casually.
