Comment 1 Stefan Bodewig 2008-08-29 06:59:18 UTC 
I'm not sure why you mention ant-contrib.

From the stacktrace it looks as if Ant had changed some internal API that the custom task com.steelwedge.tasks.MergeCopy relies on.  Without knowing the code of that task, it is hard to guess what we've changed and whether there is a workaround.
Comment 2 Stefan Bodewig 2008-08-29 07:03:48 UTC 
Ok, my guess is MergeCopy extends Copy.  Copy used to have a protected Vector attribute named filesets that has been renamed to rcs in Ant 1.7.0.

svn revision 690264 re-adds this attribute.
