As I wrote on the same thread, I'm starting to think that adding roles* as typedefs in the 'global' Ant namespace may not be desirable. Yes, it solves the problem I was describing of having to manually typedef them, but it does not solve the name-collisions, and it introduces a bunch of names in the 'global' Ant namespace. That itself is a problem IMHO, but also these roles are not real types, but some implementation of an interface to use in the contact of another task/type making use of that interface. Granted, it's not a big deal, and it may be too late to change that, but if we had roledefs, we could only consult these name/classname mappings in the context of add(Type) methods, and ignore them when mapping name to classname at the top-level, or inside targets/TaskContainers. Don't worry, I'll stop rambling on this topic ;-) --DD * for lack of a specific term for these types implementing a particular interface, I'm calling them role. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
