Cool, please, accept the compiler flag ;o) Hey! I liked to compiler flag - please, do not ignore me ;o) There was only one argument against, that it allows ppl do "nasty" things, and three voices for: 2 for forcing the use of particular compiler and 1 for removing "magic" build.compiler property with "custom/explicit" properties. If there is no compiler flag, how can I "force/suggest" a particular compiler to be used? With the compiler flag I can, without this flag it is always up to the user (unless I stop reading .ant.properties file in the head of my build.xml) And, I also think, that old modern and classic compilers should be special, I mean, if I set compiler to be jikes, and jikes is not installed on the user site, current ANT throws an exception. I think more robust would be to issue a warning, and try to compile with modern, and if this one is not present either, try classic. Thus it would be great in case of failure of any "custom" compiler, trying modern then classic. cheers Mariusz
