Yep. Bootstrapping was intended to be used only for compiling in non-compatible changes to Ant itself. Nobody else the world should have to do it, nor should you have to do it often yourself. You should be able to use an older version of ant to compile a newer one (assuming you placed the jar on your classpath somewhere safe and aren't using the one that's being built by the workspace). .duncan
