I've been thinking about this. Why dont we have Exec complain if we find
a .bat or .cmd at the end of an executable on windows?
Because one can execute some bat files directly:
hello.bat
-----------
echo "Hello"
------------
build.xml
------------
<project><exec executable="hello.bat"/></project>
------------
Result:
Buildfile: build.xml
[exec] C:\>echo "Hello"
[exec] "Hello"
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
That is why I said "cannot in general by executed directly"
(typo included!)
I do not know the (as usual in windows land) crazy rules on using .bat files
directly.
