Which isn't that big a deal when you work solely in VAJ, but when I'm exporting the updated source to check it back into the Ant CVS repository, it can really screw up the formatting. Well, mostly it insists on replacing spaces with tabs to get the proper indentation, no matter what options you set. So the diffs are huge, which is pointless. When I'm working on Ant, I tend to work in another, text based editor. However, for custom tasks at work, I do tend to work in VAJ. Ok, so thats the down side. :-) On the up side, I do like the interactive debugger. When I see a mistake I've made, I can change the code immediately in the debugger and start stepping again from the start of that method. Glenn McAllister Software Developer.

Not that many of the hard core guys seem to use VAJ. :-) You've been > warned. I wanted to once upon a time -- but when I tried it, VAJ insisted on importing all the source code into it's repository. Does it still do that? -- James Duncan Davidson duncan@x180.com !try; do ()
