Hi Charles,
There seems to be an issue with the antelope.taskdef file for a few
tasks. Try using the antlib.xml instead. The example below works fine
for me using the current AntelopeTasks_3.4.2.jar from
http://antelope.tigris.org. I tested this on both Ant 1.6.5 and 1.7.0.
<project name="fileutil_test" basedir="." default="test">
<taskdef resource="ise/antelope/tasks/antlib.xml"/>
<target name="test">
<property name="ant.jar" value="${ant.library.dir}/ant.jar"/>
<fileutil file="${ant.jar}" property="ant_date">
<lastmodified format="yyyy-MM-dd"/>
</fileutil>
<echo>timestamp on ant.jar is ${ant_date}</echo>
</target>
</project>
I did notice that on your date format, I think you wanted MM rather than mm.
Hope this helps,
Dale
