Ooh, this sounds like a good idea. I'd like to expand this idea a bit. I think nmake allows a makefile to have a tiny bit of procedural logic in it that verifies that everything is in place and ready to go, and if it isn't, then it errors out with a message. I'd love it if ant provided similar functionality. What if this help idea and an error-out-if-platform-isn't-set-up-right functionality were combined? Am I making sense? Cheers, Laird
