<h2><a name="echo">Basename</a></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 <code>file</code> is a
directory, the basename will be the last directory element. If
<code>file</code> is a full-path, relative-path, or simple filename,
the basename will be the simple file name, without any directory elements.
</p>
