http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4273 Copy needs property or attribute to restore old behavior Summary: Copy needs property or attribute to restore old behavior Product: Ant Version: 1.4 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I work on the ANT-based build system for Forte for Java at Sun. Some people are trying to use ANT 1.4 (currently ANT 1.3 is the version our official builds use). Unfortunately some of our ANT scripts don't work with ANT 1.4 because the behavior of Copy has changed: in ANT 1.3 it won't stop the build if you try to copy 1 file but the file doesn't exist, but in ANT 1.4 it throws a BuildException. I think that functionality changes like this should never be made unless either the old behavior remains the default, or at least a property or attribute can be used to restore the old behavior. So please make Copy look for a property that will stop it from throwing a BuildException in this case, and/or (less preferable solution) add an attribute to Copy to stop it from throwing the BuildException.
