I know little of ant and probably less about this particular issue but I thought XSL Stylesheets were supposed to make it relatively painless to go between different XML files. Take you build.xml and pase it throught the approriate XSL Stylesheet for the build.xml file and the ant version. Just my $0.02

It would be much better getting ant2 to be (reasonably) backward > compatible in the DTD than sticking with ant1.4. I'm subscribed to ant-dev now to try to follow what's going on. I really DO hope it'll end up being compatible with either 1.4 or 1.5. They'll definitely hear me complain if that's not the case (although I guess they probably won't care). > P.S.

I hope it won't end up being true, so I'll take it as a joke (for now) :) Remy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
