RE: [POLL] property immutability hacks
Hi, Please pardon my ignorance, but I wonder if you can clarify for me a bit what you mean by this: Are you relying on available's back door to changing property values? Are you simply asking if people are using available at all? If so, my answer is yes, most definitely. I have a series of checks based on available that set up portions of the build to fail if resources are not available.

Boy have you let the cat out of the bag now! I never thought about using the available task this way, the ideas that gives me...

RE: [POLL] property immutability hacks
Doh, Sorry I was such a dummy, I thought about this a little more and figured out what you were asking. I change my answer to no. ; ) Cheers, Matt -Original Message- From: Matt Lyon Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 9:49 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: [POLL] property immutability hacks Hi, Please pardon my ignorance, but I wonder if you can clarify for me a bit what you mean by this: Are you relying on available's back door to changing property values?
