... but that is not really what make does. Make shows you the command line it will execute, not the output of the commands themselves. Similarly if this feature were to be added to ant, it should be at the core level and not the task level. The only reasonable output then would be to show the task that would have been executed, its attributes and perhaps its nested elements. Conor
