- There were some tasks posted to the list (propertyFile) which would have
done the same (and more, increment, decrement, set a date)
- You can also do this using a "<property file=..", "<script .." and "<echo
file=..." combination

Why not check if src is specified and valid before using it?

I do not see why it should be a problem if temp exists since you seem not to
use it later on?
