| Rename directories in Ant | Rename directories in Ant 2007-06-13 - By David Weintraub
There's a slight problem in that the java.util.regex.Pattern class
used by Ant doesn't support what in Perl would be the "g" flag. That
Java class is the java.util.regex.Matcher and I don't know how the
regexmapper would call this particular class.
You might have to run this multiple times until no more moves are
done. If you use the antcontrib <trycatch> and set "failonerror" in
the move, you could keep looping until the property is set on the
catch.
That's the only thing I can think of.
