I have a project that is mainly Java, but also uses some C, which is built into a DLL, using ant for the whole build. I want to add versioning, so that the same version is embedded in the jar files, and also in the dll files. For the jars it was simple, but how can I do this for the dlls? I know you can embed different resources like a ...

The problem is that the properties (time and time2) are immutable (http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/property.html)...
Does anyone know how to recursively delete "empty" directories with ANT (empty includes directories that only contain ".svn" etc).

Hi, I've got an ANT project with libs managed by ivy (they are under lib_managed). Eclipse is using the jars to. Probelm is: if I try to update the directory ant refuses to delete it because eclipse holds on to the jars in its classpath. Even if I update (empty) eclipses classpath I can't delete the files. If anyone had the same problem...
