Thanks, that was the tip I needed. I did the following:
<code>
war {
webInf {
from 'datasource'
include(datasource + '.xml')
rename(datasource + '.xml', 'iq-datasource.xml')
from('security/')
include(security + '.xml')
rename(security + '.xml', 'iq-security.xml')
}
}

I think it is deliberate. One way to get around it is to use `Copy.eachFile
{}` to check which files are actually copied, and to compare that against
your expectations.
So since I'm not actually using the Copy() functionality anymore, is there a
way to assert that the requested file exists in the war task? A flag I can
set? A hack I can implement in a doFirst clause?
