Ant task equivalent to the "ln" unix command
Hi all,
Does anybody know if there is an equivalent to the "ln" Unix command in
Ant or others projects built over Ant ?
My goal is to get a directory referenced through 2 different names.
Regards

If I were going to do this (and I probably wouldn't),
I would DL www.sysinternals.com's JUNCTION utility and
conditionally create a macro to call <symlink> or
<exec executable="JUNCTION.EXE"> based on the OS.
That takes care of Windows and Unix-compatible
environments... can't say about the rest. But I would
expect this approach to necessitate numerous tweaks
and so cannot truly recommend it.

Thanks, I would prefer a solution working on all operating systems like
"copy" or "delete" do.

There is the <symlink> task, which only works on Unix
systems (IIRC it works to a slight degree on Cygwin
but I wouldn't recommend it). <symlink> calls the ln
executable, but be sure to read the manual and
experiment thoroughly if you choose to use this task
as its behavior is a little special and seems to give
users fits at times.
YMMV.

I would use the exec task
<quote>
Executes a system command. When the os attribute is specified, the
command is only executed when Ant is run on one of the specified
operating systems.
