Copy file with ant

The default target for the build script. A project may contain any number of targets. This attribute specifies which target should be considered as the default. A target is a collection of tasks that you want to run as one unit. In our example, we have a simple target to provide an informational message to the user. Targets can have dependencies on other targets. For example, a deploy target may have a dependency on the package target, the package target may have a dependency on the compile target and so forth.

Dependencies are denoted using the depends attribute. George Duckett Neo Neo 3 3 silver badges 2 2 bronze badges. This question was very difficult to put into words.

How the Reader class deals with these illegal sequences is up to the implementation of the character decoder.

The current Sun Java implementation is to map them to legal characters. Previous Sun Java 1. IBM Java 1. It is the mapping of the characters that cause the corruption. When this is copied with filtering by Ant, the character get converted to a question mark or some such thing. There is not much that Ant can do. It cannot figure out which files are binary—a UTF-8 version of Korean will have lots of bytes with the top bit set.
