[Exist-development] Extract Ant Task (org.exist.ant.XMLDBExtractTask.java)

[Drew T. <dt...@pd...>]

Hi all,

I'm very new to eXist, but think it's a great project!

I just began using the Ant tasks for importing/exporting collections and
resources.  However, the extract Ant task seems to have a bug.  When
calling the following:

  <xdb:extract 
    uri="${remote.exist.url}" user="${username}" password="${password}"
destdir="${app.src.dir}"
    subcollections="true" createdirectories="true"/>

The collections and subcollections are extracted, but, there is always
one resource missing from each collection.  Looking at the source code
(line 137 of org.exist.ant.XMLDBExtractTask.java), it looks like the
missing resource is the result of initializing the iteration variable to
1, instead of 0.  When I modify the source code to start at 0 (vice 1),
and recompile and run the Ant extract task, I see the results I am
expecting (no missing resources).  As I am not deeply familiar with the
code, I was hoping someone could verify the bug or functionality of this
feature.

If the process calls for a bug entry and explanation, I'll be glad to
file one.

Thanks,

Drew
