Stefan, Peter, thank you for your feedback. I'll open a bugzilla entry for this tomorrow.
Peter, thanks for the tip with the new 1.8 <local> task. I'll have a look into this once I have some spare time. For now, I just want our existing build scripts to run fast, and we use a lot of Ant-Contrib, so I think I stick with Ant 1.7.1. We don't use any of the new 1.8 features, anyway. Regards, Christoph
