Accept non-existend FiltersFile in FilterSet

           Summary: Accept non-existend FiltersFile in FilterSet
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bluemoon@xs4all.nl


I use a FiltersFile in my home-directory to overrule properties
in a FiltersFile in the project-directory.

I want the FiltersFile in my home-directory to be optional.
So FilterSet should not complain if that file doesn't exist.

The complaint FilterSet is giving me is :
 file:/mnt/hdc1/projecten/FriescheVlag/project/vla/build.xml:117: Must specify a
file not a directory in the filtersfile attribute:/home/kkuip/gti/ini/Properties.ini

Mind you, that Properties.ini is NOT a directory, it simply doesn't exist.
(So the error-message is wrong)

Maybe the solution is that if the file doesn't exist it is silenty ignored or
a new attribute 'quiet' is in order ?
