Discussed before (at least a couple time I can remember), and rejected =
on
the grounds that a custom task should be written instead... I disagree, =
so
if you want to raise it up again, I'll support you ;-)

Given the new <macrodef> though, I can see how it would be easy to =
emulate
one. Peter, can I with <macrodef> say that the macro can take an =
optional
<classpath>? Examples I've seen with macros so far had child elements =
to
contain other elements to be passed to some internal task to the macro. =
I'm
thinking of declaring a macro with an optional <classpath>, that would =
be
<pathConvert> to feed on the command line of "java" executed by =
<apply>.
Sounds feasible? Otherwise I'm pretty sure I'll hack up a task one of =
these
days... --DD
