All Java apps by design are bytecode implemented within a JVM environment. C++ environments typically have a build environment that caters to native binaries. The real question you should ask is "Are there any (JVM to native) C++ Compilers" and the answer is I havent found any at least not yet.. Anyone else???

Is there any way that this is possible without using the exec task, or did I misunderstand him? If ant doesnt support c++ would it be difficult to add support, as i like the concpt of ant, but I dont use java for most of my projects. Thanks, Chris. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscribe@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-help@ant.apache.org
