---------------------------

Where is the patch for this gone?

> Forrestbot "build" workstage creates spurious "build/webapp/WEB-INF/logs" 
> directory

>                 Key: FOR-752
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-752
>             Project: Forrest
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Tool: Forrestbot
>    Affects Versions: 0.7, 0.8
>            Reporter: Richard Calmbach
>            Priority: Minor

> When running Forrestbot with the default value for property "build.work-dir" 
> (namely "work/${ant.project.name}"), "project.build-dir" is set to the same 
> value and consequently, "project.webapp" is set to 
> "work/${ant.project.name}/webapp". However, one of the two "logs" directories 
> continues to be created at "build/webapp/WEB-INF/logs", suggesting that 
> somewhere a hardcoded value is used instead of ${project.webapp}. The mkdir 
> command for this "logs" directory is not in any of the Ant build files in the 
> Forrest distribution; it must be in one of the Java classes, probably in a 
> class related to logging. I forced an I/O failure by turning off all 
> permissions on build/webapp and running "forrest -f build.xml build". This 
> yielded a stacktrace that originated 7 calls before:
> org.apache.avalon.excalibur.logger.factory.FileTargetFactory.createTarget(FileTargetFactory.java:160)
> The remaining 7 invokations were not displayed (just "... 7 more").
> The upshot of this bug is that running "forrest -f build.xml clean" misses 
> the "logs" directory in the unexpected location. My workaround right now is 
> to use a custom "clean-all" target that depends on "clean" and that deletes 
> the spurious "build/webapp" directory.
