If set to an + absolute value (e.g. basedir="c:\projects\another") everything is OK. + + Is this expected behaviour - I found the following from the Ant website but am + not sure if it is relevant : + + "Ant will no longer use the canonical version of a path internally - this may + yield different results on filesystems that support symbolic links"
