Weird error with Jar task

Weird error with Jar task

Hi all... I have a strange situation with a JAR task... I'm dealing with
a build script that has always worked and has not changed.  The version
of Ant has not changed (1.6.1) and in fact nothing else that I can
identify has changed.

The error I get is:

C:\tomcat\webapps\ajaxtags\WEB-INF\src\build.xml:224: Unable to rename
old file (C:\tomcat\webapps\ajaxtags\WEB-INF\src\struts.jar) to
temporary file

Here is the task and the three relevant properties:

<property name="src" value="./" />
<property name="classes" value="../classes" />
<property name="webinf" value="../" />
<target name="update_jar">
  <echo message="Updating JAR..." />
  <jar destfile="${src}/struts.jar" basedir="${classes}" update="true"
excludes="com/**/*" />
  <jar destfile="${src}/struts.jar" basedir="${src}/META-INF"
update="true" includes="struts-html.tld" />
  <copy file="${src}/META-INF/tlds/struts-html.tld" todir="${webinf}"
overwrite="true" />
  <copy file="${src}/struts.jar" todir="${libs}" overwrite="true" />
  <delete dir="${classes}/org" />
  <delete dir="${src}/META-INF" />
  <echo message="Done" />
</target>

This is from within a src directory under WEB-INF of a webapp.  Like I
said, this has always worked before, it just suddenly stopped today.

The only reference I found on the web was to this:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4j-dev/200305.mbox/
%3C20030521064136.31529.qmail@(protected)%3E

...where the Log4J crew seems to experience this sporadically.  Problem
is, I have rebooted, re-checked out the project from CVS and tried to
build probably 30 times now, and it keeps happening.

Any pointers?  Thanks!
