Yes, it could be a problem. But running the risk of speaking yet another anathema, I'm starting to believe the Jelly approach of using XML namespaces is the right one...
The problem is not so much that one wants to use the same name (say containsregex) for two different things (a condition and a filter for example), but more than different AntLibs from different people might clash. Using a prefix would work, but XML has built-in namespace support, and the syntax is not that bad actually, and Ant would remain the default namespace. Plus a single bean could implement both Condition and FileFilter if it wanted, so there's no name clash anymore... I'm not sure it's wise the raising the XML namespace issue again at this time, if AntLib is to go anywhere though... --DD -----Original Message----- From: peter reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2003 11:53 AM To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: antlib The only problem is the namespace problem.
