A complication I see with trying to be smart about wether or not to let them request assertions is that the vm they are trying to invoke isn't necessarily the same vm that the task is executing in, so doing something like checking for the existence of classes that were introduced in 1.4, may not be reliable. The classes in question may not exist in the vm that ant is executing in, but assertions may very well be supported by the vm that is going to execute. The other way around is a possbility too. Any comments? Thanks. Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
