There are other tasks that would need handling like this (jar has an alternative named fastjar, rmic has jiffy, some idljava task would probably have several vendor specific implementations). Building separate classes for the special compilers (like XSLTProcess does with XSLTLiaison) might be a starting point. One issue you won't catch with this is the one of options that are only present in single implementations (take the various build.compiler.* properties for jikes as an example). This problem should be solved at the same time - and I'm very open to suggestions. Stefan
