Great -- thanks. That did the trick. I saw Sam's message about the "original design intent" -- are these documented somewhere? I'm particularly trying to understand what Ant is NOT trying to do (assuming it isn't going to feature-creep its way towards make :-) ). For example, if you are building a project that involves the configuring of 3rd party tools (e.g. Apache), would you actually do that configuration via Ant? Or is Ant for builds only, leaving installs as a separate activity.
Thanks!
