My opinion is that what we really need is a VOTE thread: > > 1. Are you in favor of adding the augment feature to Ant? > Definitively +1
> 2. Are you in favor of an attribute that allows references to be marked > as final, to avoid augmentation? > If both things (<augment> task and making "final" references) are separated i'm +1 > 3. If a final attribute is decided upon, do you think it should default > to "false"? > +1 As with current code base ant datatypes are currently de-facto mutable we should keep the default value of final attribute to false. -- Jean Louis Boudart Independent consultant Project Lead http://www.easyant.org
