Re: Failed to execute task move in Windows

Jeffrey,

Thank you for the insight: you are absolutely right!

I'm still a bit mystified though. When my target and property were set like this:

the task failed and claimed that bi.jar could not be found; when I checked the directory, the jar file had been DELETED!! What's that all about? I could see the rename failing but why would Ant and/or Windows DELETE the file??

Windows file systems are case-insensitive while being case-preserving; if all you want to do is to change the case you'll need to use an intermediate file (i.e. move to temp_Bi.jar, then move to Bi.jar).
