I don't think he meant anything by it...I tried to use it too (I've
never used the task before). I read the online docs, am on a Linux
system (its all I use) and had some issues with it - as in I wasn't able
to do symbolic links. Of course I didn't spend a great deal of time
using the task - but, it didn't work as straight forward as other tasks
do - be it ant or ant contrib.
Granted symbolic links are a *nix sorta concept, I'm sure Tom wanted to
approach this via an ant task. Sounds to me like he did read the
manual...just wasn't working as he would have thought...

you may want to invoke the ant task 'exec' ..doc available at

I've checked out the Symlink task of the ant distribution, but it
don't quite do what I want.

According to docs , when passed a set of files, in dont create a set
of symbolic links in the target
directory. Instead it creates a single file containing all the links
in java resource format.
