Description

If "ant tasks" is run and there are compilation errors in the
build-area/src code, then "ant tasks" will fail to run again
because target/kepler-tasks.jar does not exist.

In the example below, I have some compilation errors and
then ant task fails to run

bash-3.00$ ant task
At revision 20113.
Buildfile: build.xml

The workaround is to run

svn update target/; ant task

The fix is to temporarily move targets/kepler-tasks.jar and if
javac fails, then move it back.

"ant task" is a convenience method. It never needs to be invoked.

If "ant task" fails, the solution is to type:

ant -f kepler-tasks.xml

I do not think that we should make "ant task" more robust, since it is meant to be a short-cut to avoid to avoid typing the above. If kepler-tasks.jar is missing, then ant task doesn't work, but the command above does. I am closing this bug.
