Ant and NAnt are currently fundamentally un-interoperable, if only because Ant tests (if/unless) are based on property existence, while NAnt tests are based on evaluation to 'true'. And as Ian mentioned, that's just one source-level incompatibility... there are plenty more! But that being said, I'm not sure what the goal of interoperability of scripts between Ant and NAnt is. That sounds like asking for source-code interoperability between C# and Java... sure it might be nice in a couple of cases, but however similar the structure of the language they each have their own exclusive constructs and foibles. Or to put it a different way, it just doesn't make sense :-) What's wrong with using Ant to run Ant scripts, and using NAnt to run NAnt scripts? If you have a situation which Ant can deal with but NAnt can't, then use Ant... and vice versa. The only reason I can think of to try to run an Ant script in NAnt is to port it across because there is a feature in NAnt that you want to take advantage of... but by definition, this feature is not available in Ant so interoperability is impossible. Is there some other reason that I'm missing? -- Troy ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
