RE: copy

Marc,

The <copy> task has been recently introduced as a consolidation of
<copydir> and <copyfile>. These latter tasks will be present in ant 1.2
as deprecated tasks. They will be removed in the version following ant
1.2. It would therefore be prudent to use <copy> if you are prepared to
wait for the 1.2 release. In the meantime, you can try it out in the
current 1.2 release candidate.

No need to vote :-)

Conor

What is the correct way to copy?  should we use copy with filesets,
copydir with includes, or copyfile?  If we are voting - I choose the
shortlived copy.  It was verbose but very explicit and obvious to use
and read.
