I feel like we're going around in circles here... :) Maybe we need to clarify this issue: 1) Is this important? If so, then: 2) What features do we want/need? 3) What possible solutions would represent the least invasion on Ant's core? 3a) If one or more solutions include the use of one or more external packages in some way, what compatibly-licensed projects exist that would obtain substantial gains toward the desired functionality? 4) What other initiatives might ease the incorporation of this idea into Ant (Ant decomposition, antlib concepts, etc.)? 5) What have I forgotten to ask? -Matt __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
