Robert Scholte commented on MRESOURCES-145:
-------------------------------------------
According to the JavaDoc
{quote}
*long java.io.File.lastModified()*
Returns the time that the file denoted by this abstract pathname was last
modified.
*Returns:*
A long value representing the time the file was last modified, measured in
milliseconds since the epoch (00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970), or 0L if the file
does not exist or if an I/O error occurs
{quote}
That would mean it's quite impossible to have {{0L}}, but I'm pretty sure I've
seen it, although not recently.

> If a file has no last modified date (File.lastModified() == 0), then the
> plugin just ignore it. This line in the file FileUtils.java of

> {{if ( to.lastModified() < from.lastModified() || overwrite )}}
> It will be evaluated to {{false}} always if {{overwrite}} flag is not set.
