Warning: modified in the future

Question

I am getting the warning

Warning: sendmailpm.jsp modified in the future. 

What does this mean?

Answer 1

During an Ant build, this warning can be output during a task.

[copy] Warning: foo\bar.txt modified in the future.

Ant's task by default won't copy files if the destination files are newer than the source. This saves much time and disk I/O. However you can override this behavior with the option . This tells Ant that you know what you're doing; overwrite the destination files regardless of their modification date. This will also suppress the warning.
