This task has been deprecated. Use the move task with a glob mapper instead.
Renames files in the srcDir directory ending with the
fromExtension string so that they end with the
toExtension string. Files are only replaced if
replace is true
See the section on
directory based tasks, on how the
inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.
This task forms an implicit FileSet and
supports most attributes of <fileset>
(dir becomes srcDir) as well as the nested
<include>, <exclude> and
<patternset> elements.
