Haven't looked at the code, yet, but you can as well use Ant's sandbox for this, if you want to (just making sure, you know that you can, not saying you should). > The only point that was not generic enougth is the default input > file. It is build.xml in ant and I wanted build.gant. I recall that I was involved in similar discussions, it could have been when I put together the JavaFront prototype here on the list or later in some off-list discussion. Ahh, the thread starting here <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-dev/200811.mbox/%3c91dd9a4f0811180944m46bfa9ecs3eb8564a5e2d1...@mail.gmail.com%3e> I know Jean-Louis BOUDART has been working on plugging different frontends into EasyAnt so maybe we could join forces - Jean-Louis, are you reading this? > I thought about the ProjectHelper providing the proper default input file.

I think it would, in particular if you consider the use case of maybe supporting more than one ProjectHelper implementation in parallel (see the old thread) like use groovy if it is a goovy build file and fall back to ProjectHelper2 if it is xml. > Then there is also the problematic about the ant and subant tasks which are > expected a priori to launch ant with the pure xml frontend (I am right to see > it this way ?). I think the configured ProjectHelper is used, isn't it? This probably means we need support for multiple project helpers if <ant> and friends should eb able to chose one based on the format.
