Description Emmanuel Bourg 2012-02-12 23:01:40 UTC 
The <copy> task doesn't not preserve the last modified time on the copied directories when the preservelastmodified attribute it set to true. The copied directories get the current date instead.

Patch fixing the last modified date on directories

Here a suggestion to fix this issue. It only deals with files and file resources. If a mapper is defined it doesn't attempt to set the last modified time on the directories.
