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

Besides, isn't it easier to just point your build.dir to where you want it to point? I believe you can set up a properties file that will override the default of ${basedir}/build. I think we should close this bug.

'ant clean' should not remove build directory.

           Priority: Minor

It would be better if 'ant clean' does not remove build directory. Many projects do not remove this dir. One advantage of not removing is that, I can symlink the build to another place (e.g. / mnt/scratch/) and keep the source code in more reliable place. I will submit a patch if this sounds ok.
