I'd be tempted to use the <javac> and <copy> tasks as a basis as they are some of the first tasks people encounter, stay consistent with them and learning is easier. Source files then become srcFile srcDir but destinations are tricky destDir seems the obvious choice for most destinations, but tofile and todir are use by copy. CVS uses dest How about, as a simple ruleset -if you only use one file or dir, then "file" and "dir" are the ones to use. -if you have source and dest files, then srcFile and srcDir for the source, and destFile & destDir for the dest. Simple and reasonably consistent with what we have today. Reasonably means that not a few tasks are not 100% consistent. -steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
