Two remarks: 1) If, as I hope, the Ant namespace URI changes to "antlib:org.apache.tools.ant", then an antlib.xml would be available there. For consistency's sake, but also because of (2) below... 2) This Ant antlib.xml would of course reference the existing tasks/types properties files, but *additionally* declare all the little types, like selectors, mappers, etc... Without (2), I cannot right a custom task with a new add(FilenameSelector) introspection point (or add(Condition), etc..), and be able to use the built-in Ant selectors, conditions, etc... (at least not without an explicit declaration for them somewhere.) It would be really strange to be able to use such custom types (selectors, mappers, conditions, etc...) as usual in Ant 1.6, but not the Ant built-in ones. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
