I didn't say "it's all doable using the Cvs task" -- I said "it's all doable using currently available Ant tasks". The guy wanted to know if there was way to do what he wants to do -- I assume without having to write his own task(s) or modify existing ones -- and, yes, there is. You seem awfully quick to make pronouncements that Ant can't do X unless you start hacking at the code -- and that's just not actually been the case 99.9% of the time. So far, the only thing it couldn't actually do was run <record> in emacs mode -- but only because it was just stubbed off. And that should've been a completely straightforward little thing to implement, but somehow it turned into some big hack-away-at-Ant, which I still don't think it needed to be. > 'cvs --help diff' also returns 1, Yeah, so? -- who said anything about running 'cvs --help diff'?? The ant-user list is a place where people can ask for solutions to their problems, and hopefully we can offer them some. Constantly poohpoohing those proffered solutions that use what's already available seems awfully counterproductive -- especially since it's more often than not misinformation to say you can't do this or that, since in fact you can. I don't always put the solution together in actual Ant format (and I didn't this time because, frankly, I had a bit too much brew and Thirsty Bear last night to feel like doing much of anything today :), but trust me on this, if I say there's a way to do it, it means I have actually thought of how -- I just haven't necessarily typed it all out.
