Great idea Jason, and thanks for the advise. I would MUCH rather be coding java than writing xml. The lure of Unit testing is also a huge bonus.
Ummm....now, how do I go about it? =) I'm assuming that I must create an Ant Task (don't know how to do this yet), then taskdef it inside my plugin.jelly. is there a developer's HOWTO available (on wiki?).

I would highly recommend you encapsulate your little tool in a POJO and use the POJO from Jelly. So in Jelly you would end up with something like: <toolbox:fileChanger directory="/my/dir" filepattern="**/*.txt" find="^monkey" replace="donkey"/> Then you can easily unit test it. Leverage your knowledge of Java, you don't have to program in Jelly and I highly recommend you don't. Jelly is an awesome integrator though and that's how you should use it. It's dead simple to use a POJO from Jelly. > Thanks. > Ryan > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
