The problem came up with the development of a starter-project build with Ant and Cocoon called Krysalis Centipede http://www.krysalis.org . It's still in early stages, but I've already come up with something quite usable, and the new POI project at Jakarta is using it. I need to make it easy to upgrade Ant: if the Ant dirs are clean, ie only with ant files, I can just ask to put the new Ant there and no modification is necessary. Thank you for the work you are all doing on Ant, it's WAY COOL! :-) -- Nicola Ken Barozzi barozzi@nicolaken.com - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
