Re: [External] : Antcontrib for task with 'parallel' option is not working in certain Windows Server machines

Hi Dave,

I can update to 1.0b3 easily. I do have an issue with unavailability of few advanced if-else conditions like (isLessThan, isGreaterThan, etc.) in 1.0b3 according to the error message I got. What is puzzling is that even though 'For' task doesn't have the 'parallel' option in 0.6, how come it runs fine in some Windows Server box and not in others. This is what I'm trying to understand as it seems kind of fundamental to Ant's runtime and would love to get to the bottom of. Fortunately, the job we need to run in the server with issue with 'parallel' option of 'For', can be handled manually for now.

Thanks,
Munawar

This is really an ant-contrib question,not an ant question, but i guess
good luck getting  someone to respond there.


When i look at 0.6 source, here

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ant-contrib/files/ant-contrib/ant-contrib-0.6/ant-contrib-0.6-src.zip/download

the For task doesn't not have a parallel attribute.

I see that later  versions do

I'd update ant-contrib to

https://search.maven.org/artifact/ant-contrib/ant-contrib/1.0b3/jar

(i'd also update ant to 1.10.12 while you were at it.)
