One thing that has been widely agreed on was that properties and especially "magic" properties should be limited if not removed at all. Sam Ruby suggested to add styles for things like this. This way you specify defaults for all javac-tasks in a style sheet and add a different set of options for a single javac task with a given ID attribute ... I think, Sam's approach is more general than yours and applies to other tasks as well. Stefan
