1.7 Resource Framework accessing lastmodified
Hi,
I would like to accomplish something like the following using the <file>
resource from the ANT 1.7 Resource Framework:
<file name="tlog.resource" basedir="C:\" file="my_patch.txt" > </file>
<echo message="Patch Created: ${tlog.resource.lastmodified}" />
Without delving underneath the XML interface to the Java classes provided by
the ANT 1.7 Resource Framework, can you access the properties of a resource
"readonly", without setting them?
If so, how?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

This looks like a good candidate for a
PropertyEvaluator in the Ant 1.8 world... adds
priority to porting the old jexl and jxpath proposals
IMHO...

I dont think there is a way (yet)...though I could imagine using
<scriptdef>to define a task that would do so, something to call
getLastModified() on a resource.
Add it as a feature request on bugzilla; I'm doing some tweaks to the
resource hierarchy this week.
