> Ant's symlink task seems to have trouble if the link already exists. So any
> attempt to build for a second time fails. We use symlink to link version
> specific JavaCC jar to javacc.jar. Curiously, even if you succeed in symlink
> for javacc, javacc task fails with an error that javacc.jar or JavaCC.zip
> cannot be found in path. It appears that the ant problem has been around for
> some time:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/nutch-...@incubator.apache.org/msg00880.html.
> The forthcoming patch addresses the problem by replacing symlink with a
> delete and copy. I could have simply used copy with overwrite="true", but,
> I'm not sure how it'll behave with existing symlinks.
