Where is this file? I don't have any lib directory under my jakarta-ant CVS tree and thus no lib/README.

Okay - I just added a note under lib/README that gives location (http://www.savarese.org/oro/downloads/index.html#NetComponents). I guessed the location of some other components but if anyone adds a task to CVS that has dependencies could you update lib/README (and corect any I mucked up ;]) Basically the difference between optional and non-optional tasks is whether or not they require outside tasks. Except for style all the non-optional tasks are self-contained with ant. (Style is there via legacy) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
