replaceregexp Task and RegExp Mappers

Hi all, We're using Ant 1.5 and are trying to use both the replaceregexp task and the regexp Mapper (during a Copy), but it seems that classloading has become a bit of an issue. When we attempt to execute the replaceregexp task, it fails with the RegexpFactory reporting, with "No supported regula

RE: build.xml & build.properties best practices

FWIW, I believe only Ant 1.6 will have the import capability you are talking about, and it's not even sure yet whether target re-writing will be allowed. At least that's what I remember I understood lurking on ant-dev. Costin, Conor, Stefan, and others involved, please correct me if my recollectio

reconciling Ant & S1S standard file structures.

Common organization of files, especially with Ant users, is to put the source and compiled files in different directories. The standard Sun ONE Studio file organization (in my experience, anyway) is to set up a web app directory structure where .java and .class files are in the same location.

I'm no WAR expert for sure, but aren't WAR files only glorified JARs, with a given layout inside? You probably just need to unjar (unwar?) somewhere, to get access to the classes and JARs inside, referring those in your classpath. Put that logic in a target that every target that needs the classpa
