Description Jesse Glick 2003-01-21 02:52:35 UTC 
Even if you have made no changes to a module X,
after running

ant -f nbbuild/build.xml -Dmodules=
-Dfixedmodules=X merge

you will see

Copying 1 file to .../nbbuild/netbeans

which is in fact X/netbeans/update_tracking/X.xml.

To improve incremental builds, UT.write() should
check if the file it is writing actually differs
from the existing one (if any), and if so not do
so (or put the timestamp back).

However if update_tracking/*.xml are to be
generated directly to nbbuild/netbeans (with
redesigned build system) then it does not matter
so much and this could be closed WONTFIX.

Setting WONTFIX per suggestion
