Ah I see! At the moment I just ensure that the load rules are the same for all config specs used in the build, but I also like your idea.
I would be interested in seeing (and using) the scripts and ant files, if you care to post them on the list. If the java development of an optional task goes well (I'm referring to the response by Stephane Bailliez) that would be the best solution of course. Maybe the task could be programmed to provide a default of yes to the unload questions, rather than do what the script does (which is a nice work around ;-) ) Thank you very much for your input. It's nice to know that I don't suffer alone!!
