I included a file (diffs.txt) which has some diffs to the core ant classes which I added to support these tasks. To build these tasks you will need to apply these diffs. If you read the last paragraph of my original email, you will see why I made these changes. I am hoping one of the committers will apply them. The include support is provided by the MatchingTask superclass. The includes can be defined in two ways, either as an includes attribute or by nested <include> elements. Is that what you mean by a different syntax? Good Luck, let me know if you can't get them going. Conor
