Move only modified files
This seems like a basic question, but I haven't been able to find it in
the user list search...
When we do a build, we want to only include files that have changed when
compared to a target. The reason for doing this is keeping the size of
the buildfile manageable, reduce time when doing a deployment in a
production environment, and reduce the number of times we have reboot our
app server.
An example:
ANT compares the source files versus target files, and the changed files
are copied to a staging directory.
Thanks-
John
