<h2 id="echo">Basename</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Task to determine the basename of a specified file, optionally minus a specified suffix.</p>
<p>When this task executes, it will set the specified property to the value of the last path element
of the specified file. If <var>file</var> is a directory, the basename will be the last directory
element. If <var>file</var> is a full-path, relative-path, or simple filename, the basename will be
the simple file name, without any directory elements.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>

filename (eg., <samp>lib/myjar.jar</samp>), or a simple filename (eg., <samp>myjar.jar</samp>).</p>
