Yes, it would be nice if all that great utility code was taken out of Ant and put in the commons and use a dynabean adapter to turn the utility bean into a task for use in Ant. I think that is the most fundametnal design error and drawback to Ant is that everything that is basically really just a bean is bound Task and the very problematic AntClassLoader. If the utility code was taken out of Ant I imagine you could get an compatible mechanism up and running in a couple months. That would be a huge unification and allow access to all the utility code in Ant which is very annoying to use outside of Ant currently. > James > ------- > http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/ > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Everything you'll ever need on one web page > from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts > http://uk.my.yahoo.com > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- jvz.
