Hi, First, thanks to all you guys answering ! That's really great.
Now, >> Yes, that'd be the way to go, and maybe if value was omitted use >> System.getenv to get the current value? Are the current values not passed by default. Under Unix the environment is passed to the "son" created with "fork". Under Win32 I don't know. So "env" or "setenv" or what ever it gets called would just overload and override the environment. Also, could somebody give me (or us) a hint why antRun is involved ? What is it used for ? I'll go in Exec.java anyway, but having an overall picture is always nice to catch up on the code : ) >> Take a look at the modifications I've made to >> docs/index.html#writingowntask and tell me if that makes sense to you >> - and post any corrections please, English is not my native language. About the createXXX and addXXX : - this added documentation is mostly clear, as far as my english goes too ! - what is the difference between create and add. I went in "MatchingTask.java" and there is only createInclude and createExclude, but no addXXX. - why not put a small example with createXXX, addXXX, and Class ReturnObject ? Or maybe just give a couple adequat classes reference in the Ant sources ? - what constraints is there on the ReturnObject ? It seems to be constructed as the task itself, with setters, but is it all ? I will repost soon about the issue I had with "notavailable" and negation in general. And also, the building issue : chossing ant.build.dir=. could bring something nicer than what it does (try it ! ;-). See ya Julien
