Yeah, so I thought, until a developer once put a dependency in that caused
me a huge headache to get it back out.

I wrote this task in a few hours.  (Testing took a little longer).  I
didn't think of using the depends and going that route.  That might have
been a good idea.  I would have had to do alot of comparisons.  That is
something I didn't have to do with the route I did take which was just
using javac on the different packages.  javac naturally failed the build
when it couldn't compile due to bad dependencies.

Is there a process for acceptance of a new task into ant?  How does this
work?  Still need to fix my bug and write a test case, but after that???
thanks for any input here.
