I actually *like* the hack. I view it very much like having wildcard expansion being done by the shell (as is the default for Unix) vs. having each appliction do it (the Windows approach). An option to turn it off could be useful, but knowing that it is done by default and in a consistent and standard way for all tasks is of great value. I'm with Stefano on the init task, and if we all agree, I'm willing to make the changes required across the jakarta and xml projects. - Sam Ruby
