What I actually meant was, if build.xml contains deprecated stuff, say it once in big bold words (maybe a screenful of them) when ant is launched, and don't show it at every task level unless -deprecated is turned on. This was actually a suggestion to avoid having to see numerous deprecated messages, sometimes repeated for the same tasks. But I really don't care this way or that - I understand that showing deprecated messages repeatedly will irriate the user enough to migrate to the latest and greatest alternative. > > I'd suggest going the other way: > > ONLY support deprecated features when run with a -legacy flag. > The user would always run ant using -legacy turned on without caring to upgrade tasks?
