sorry ;) >Whilst I usually >don't agree with Jason's point of view, I would defend his right to express >it here. Let us make the arguments, discuss the points, etc, but please >let's keep ant-dev friendly. It wasn't meant to be unfriendly - quite the opposite in fact ;) >Sourceforging people isn't the way to go, IMHO. Nope - but I doubts it is going to happen with so many people against it. So it is more a practical thing - if he wants then do it - actions speaks louder than words - maybe the arguments will have more effect once backed up with implementation. I am not saying go away - I know people who would love to use the procedural parts he comes up with. However whats the point of encouraging what I see as a dead end ? ;) I think he will end up tired from arguing with us and thus end up not doing anything. This would be a shame.
