I'm not an Ant developer (just a user when building Tomcat) so my vote doesn't really mean anything ... but please do not do this! We already know that 2.0 will likely (hah -- assume it's an ironclad certainty :-) break existing build files. Given that, would it be such a tremendous problem to let current build files work through the 1.x family? That way, we will only have one more MUST change instead of two. > Stefan Craig McClanahan
