Ant clean target subtask deletes current working directory files (including build.xml) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1527 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1527 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: build Affects Versions: 3.1.2 Environment: Hibernate Core 3.1.2, any platform Reporter: Allen Gates Assignee: Diego Pires Plentz The Ant build.xml clean target contains a subtask: <delete dir="${dist.dir}"/> where dist.dir is defined <property name="dist.dir" value="../${name}-${version.sansPatchLevel}"/> Unfortunately, that resolves to precisely the the current directory (i.e. named hibernate-3.1) from which ant clean is run, thus deleting build.xml and other files. This is obviously undesirable. I found this in conjunction with running a standalone Ant build of Hibernate, while working on a patch for Configuration.java to restrict table retrieval to only hibernate.default_schema ;)
