Speaking just to the issue of deleting target files which are no longer in
the source directory, you could use a fileset with the "present" selector,
but reversing the source/target directories:
<delete>
<fileset dir="${target_dir}">
<present present="srconly" targetdir="${source_dir}"/>
</fileset>
</delete>

Let me know if it suits you, and post any enhancements you make to the same
place you found it. --DD

Subject: Synchronize task
I am looking for a synchronize task for ant (for synchronizing files/and or
directories without requiring using copy, since that copies possibly
unneeded files).
I see someone has looked for one before, but didn't find one, in the mailing
list history. Has anyone written one since?
If I go off to write it myself, does anyone have any code they could share
that may get me started?
These seems like it should be a pretty basic operation that has already been
implemented over and over again elsewhere...
Thanks,
Dan
