Well thats part of his reasoning I think. However another part is that a lot of standard are starting to use this and thus a lot of projects used by these standards are starting to use this. This means that when we are working on inter jar dependencies, the users will not have to use a ant specific dependency mechanism (which may mean altering lots of thirs party jars) but can use a standard format (which will work with many existing jars). -- Cheers, Pete ---------------------------------------- Why does everyone always overgeneralize? ----------------------------------------
