Another thing you may want to check is if the target that contains the BuildNumber task is called multiple times? ie: if it runs every time you compile, but the "source" files are a dependency of another build script which calls this target, it could inadvertantly be executed multiple times.
d. PS: Eric, what is the process of submitting an enhancement to an existing task (ie: BuildNumber)? Or at least submit design changes as the task as it is seems very limited? -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 11:50 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: propertyfile increments wrong. Ryan, I did a fair bit of work with <propertyfile> attempting to fix a lot of issues with it between 1.4.1 and 1.5. I'm not aware of this problem (or I would have fixed it :) - could you come up with a test case that duplicates the issue in a repeatable fashion? If so, I could probably fix it easily.
