We could use a delegation model instead. The IdlToJava task constructor will just inspect the corresponding build.compiler.idl property and create a corresponding subclass of itself. then it will delegate to it all entry point invocations. Probably the delegation needs to be designed a little more, but it should work. And with that pattern stablish one could do the same for others like <javac>. Finally, one could allow in this task to specify something like vendor options: <idltojava ... general options ....> <vendor class="...." option="literal options"> </idltojava> Meaning that the attribute option will only be set if build.compiler.idl has the same value as attribute class.
