Is that correct ? What Tomcat 3.1 released as ant 1.0 was really ant 0.9; the real '1.0' release was ant 1.1.

I'd like to see your article. Send out a copy before it is published and i will sanity check it. Too many ant articles are written by people that dont understand ant in depth, and they propagate misconceptions. -steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
