Forgot one of my favourites. I have in the past proposed supporting the multithreading of tasks within a target by the addition of a boolean async attribute. I think this is a valuable feature for running test harnesses on servers, without the need to start multiple ants. I have used this with JUnit tests on a Weblogic EJB server.
Thomas Christen has asked about having parallel targets within a project. I don't really support that as I think it is significantly more complex than multithreading tasks within a target. Nevertheless I think we should examine both ideas as part of this process to see if either of them has merit in a future ant. -- Conor MacNeill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cortex eBusiness http://www.cortexebusiness.com.au > -----Original Message----- > From: Conor MacNeill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, 29 October 2000 2:20 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Some Thoughts on Ant 1.3 and 2.0 > > > Stefan, > > I would include on the list of items for discussion, the removal of > implicit filtering.
