I'm new here, but have you looked at "BeanShell" (www.beanshell.org) it's a a LGPL'd interpreter for JAVA.
so you could use java for scripting (i.e. without the explicit compilation to bytecode) just a thought GT "James Sieben (EUS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 06/29/2000 08:58:13 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: GT Bradley/LA/SPE) Subject: RE: Conditionnal tasks I thought the Script task was supposed to integrate scripting support?

I'm only partly serious here. I don't think XSLT would be useful : for exemple I want to apply a block of tasks to each ".xml" file of my directory "xml". For this, I cannot really use XSLT - and don't really figure out how it could be used. Anyway, embedding a scripting language would be a really brilliant idea : I'm convinced that modern app/tools should let the user avoid technical problems by allowing scripting. For this, I propose the PNuts scripting language, which is very similar to Java/JavaScript, but with some very interesting features (packages, gui stuff). It is a good topic to discuss...So what's your opinion ? Seb. -- Sebastien Pierre.- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ R a t i o n a l software | XML \ meet me on - .
