To all: I was noticing that the Javac taskdef is slowly expanding to include more and more popular compiler types. Is it possible that this indicates the need for a factory method responsible for fetching the compiler of choice and then sending messages to it through a simple interface containing a method like doCompile()?
Does anyone have any ideas how one might load a factory for a taskdef such as Javac? I wonder if some kind of general Factory taskdef could be developed to install a factory for the Javac taskdef and possibly others that had similar needs but different interfaces. Or maybe it should simply be a fully qualified class name given as an attribute to the Javac taskdef where Sun's implementation is the default if one is not specified. Michael
