Comment 1 David Konecny 2008-06-26 00:20:40 UTC 
Here is first couple of changes to implement this task. Please speak up if you disagree:

* move <copyfiles> task from web.project to java.j2seproject (that is move
web.project/antsrc/org/netbeans/modules/web/project/ant/CopyFiles.java to
java.j2seproject/copylibstask/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/j2seproject/copylibstask/CopyFiles.java). I want to avoid
having two Ant task jars with very similar features one in java cluster and one in web cluster. That's why I'm moving it
from web to java. Perhaps it can be of use in java cluster in future.

* cleaning up what should have been done as issue 52155: renaming enterprise5/ant/extra/copyfiles.jar to
enterprise5/ant/extra/jspcompile.jar; renaming copyfiles.classpath property to jspctask.classpath

See diff I'm going to attach for more details.

Q: is it OK to keep CopyFiles.java in copylibstask package or should I put it into its own one?

Thanks for your comments. I would like to commit this change in a day or two.

I intentionally have not updated j2ee/web XML schemas. Instead I placed comment there saying which attributes are
obsolete now. They should be removed from schema with a future incompatible change. Not removing them allows users to
try out NB6.5 and still use NB6.1. Opening project in NB6.5 will remove some properties though and opening the project
againt in NB 6.1 will add them.
