#8 attr name="xmlns" does not work on Mac

[Lars]

The following jelly snippet does not work on Mac:

<ant:xmltask source="${file}" dest="${file}">
<ant:attr path="/*[1]" attr="xmlns" value="${namespace}"/>
</ant:xmltask>

It works if I set another attribute than xmlns, and it works on Windows.

Can you confirm your Java versions, please ? I get different behaviour on 1.4 vs. 1.5 Java, and can replicate on a Linux machine. Can you clarify what you mean by 'not working', btw ?

I am using Java 1.5.

The error is that the generated attribute value becomes empty, but only when the attribute name is "xmlns".
