Having these tasks as part of Ant, however, increases awareness of these tools within the Java community as I would imagine most Ant users will scan through the lists of core and optional tasks after each release to see what's new. However, I understand the concern with the growing size of the optional jar. Perhaps an alternative would be to include a section containing links to external tasks in the Ant manual (in the same format as the current lists of core and optional tasks), rather than just having it as another page on the website. In the longer term perhaps it would be worth considering pushing *all* optional tasks that could be bundled with the tools they wrap back into those tools. There would then be little distinction between the remaining optional tasks (such as the Visual Source Safe tasks) and the core tasks - perhaps it would then make sense to merge the two? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
