My solution to most ant problems is to use a stomper, a java program
that generates the ant scripts.  That way I can get around many of
ant's limitations with verbosity.  It also makes them much easier to
maintain. Any change you make is propagated to all your scripts.

Why do so many operating systems refuse to define a standard 
temporary file marking mechanism? It could be a reserved lead character
such as the ~ or a reserved extension such as .tmp.
It could be a file attribute bit. Because they refuse, there is no 
fool-proof way to scan a disk for orphaned temporary files and delete them. 
Further, you can't tell where the orhaned files ame from. 
This means the hard disks gradually fill up with garbage.
