Re: Ant 1.5 Beta 1 -- change to available.setFile()

[Erik Hatcher <ja...@ehatchersolutions.com>]

Cross-posting to ant-dev (probably better to bring up these types of issues
over there anyway)....

I consider this a bug breaking backwards API compatibility.  Please file a
bug report with Bugzilla for this issue so we can address during the beta
cycle (feel free to submit a patch to add it back if you want too! :)
