oops - I gotta seperate the two lists in my folder :P >Just one issue with this patch. Do we want to expand on the use of >build.compiler.* properties? I actually would like to get rid of them >altogether - too implicit for me. Yup definetly a pet hate. I have yet to think of a good way of doing it thou. The only decent way I have heard was when someone ages ago said they want to declare *standard* parameters in their build file. ie property javac.pedantic would cause the attribute pedantic to be set on javac if the javac had said attribute and it wasn't defined in build.xml task. so we could do things like set properties such as javac.debug=true javac.deprecated=true and then anytime javac task appeared and debug or deprecated attributes weren't set they would automatically default to debug=true and deprecated=true. Not sure who proposed this but it is the cleanest approach I have seen.
