Does Ant have a task?

Does Ant have a <diff> task?

I would be happy if there was a task that behaved 
similar to the UNIX diff command.

If you have the diff command on your box, you can use <exec> 
task like this:

<target name="diff">
  <exec dir="." executable="diff.exe" output="patch">
    <arg line="-u"/>
    <arg file="foo.txt"/>
    <arg file="bar.txt"/>
  </exec>
</target>

Yes, it's a platform dependent solution:-(
