Just very quick look at ant build.xml and: replace, fail, exec-family, rename, ... and possibly others are not needed to build ant, but still, to me they _should_ be part of the core. The definition suggested is not good enough, I think. Personally, I also would like to have jikes support in core, whatever model of tasks ANT will have. No matter how nice the task pluggable architecture of ANT is, java compiler is a such integral part of every building process, that good support with variety of compilers is only good for ANT. If I could, I would discourage removing jikes from the core. ;o) cheers mariusz
