Summary: Copy task does not preserve natural ordering of
resource collections
Product: Ant
Version: 1.8.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Various resource collections (union, etc) are designed with particular
iteration orders in mind. For example, a "union" stores items in a
LinkedHashSet to preserve ordering.
Turns out, though, that the Copy task doesn't respect the natural ordering of
items.
I am suspecting this is because "fileCopyMap" is a Hashtable; the
"doFileOperations()" method goes over the elements in "fileCopyMap" to execute
the copy instructions.
I took a few minutes (OK, more than a few) to look at the code and it appears
as if changing "fileCopyMap", "dirCopyMap" and perhaps "completeDirMap" to
"LinkedHashMap" instances would resolve this problem.
