I'd like to challenge that veto, Pete. What's your proposal to solve the use case of beanutils' all target? <http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/~checkout~/jakarta-commons/beanutils/build.xml?rev=1.8&content-type=text/plain> The use case is simple, make sure we do a "clean" build. As current Ant will execute targets that don't depend on each other in left-to-right order, there may be quite a few build system that rely on this. We need some way to keep this feature, or some equivalent functionality. Stefan
