------- Additional Comments From peterreilly@apache.org  2005-03-10 10:16 -------
ReplaceCopy is not an ant task.

The internal rep of ant's Copy fileCopyMap changed
from ant 1.5 to 1.6.
in WHATSNEW:
* The values of the Copy#fileCopyMap variable has changed from String to
  String[]. (In java 1.5 terms it was Hashtable<String, String> and
  is now Hashtable<String, String[]>). This will affect third party code
  that extend Copy and override Copy#doFileOperations.

One can write code that will work with both ant 1.5 and 1.6.
by checking the type.

Normally we try to maintain backward compatibly at an xml level
and at a JavaApi level, but sometimes stuff falls tru the cracks.

In this case, the <copy> task did not support multiple results when
using mappers so the internal type needed to change from
String to String[].

There is notthing we can do to fix this now, the third party "ReplaceCopy"
code needs to change to work with ant 1.6+.

Am marking the as *WONTFIX*.
