Dominique,
Thanx for your answer.
Let me explain my backup control logic a littlebit: I always copy all my
source files to my ${bkp} dir if any of them has been touched. Before I do
that, I move my old backup files to a folder named ${bkp}${DSTAMP}${TSTAMP}.
So, my ${bkp} folder contains only the last version of my source files.
To decide if I should rebuild my javadocs, create a new backup and a few
other things, I need to know if any of my files has been changed. I have
been trying to use <uptodate> but with no success.
My ${src} and ${bkp} dirs are relative to ${basedir} and actually hold only
"src" and "bkp" at the moment.
I have already searched the archives for "update" and only found questions
and questions about this issue...
Has <uptodate> ever worked in such way? :-) Could anyone correct - or at
least tell me what do do about - the following snippet so that it works as
intended??? Any of the developers could tell me if I am missing something or
if I misunderstood some concept?
<target name="check" depends="init">
<uptodate property="srcs.changed">
<srcfiles dir="${basedir}" />
<mapper type="glob" from="${src}\*.java" to="${bkp}\*.java" />
</uptodate>
</target>
Tkx,
