Hi, I have just spent some hours trying to get everything to build catalina, regexp, ant just so I could build struts. Probably most of that unnecessarily I am sure, but I am a newbie to jakarta (more usually found in the Avalon list).
The <get> built-in task seems to look interesting to solve such problems, but I think it is going to do the retrieval every time it is invoked. It would be nice if there were a way of the get being conditional on 1) a question .... "Would you like XLS transform capability? If yes, then the build process will get the dependant jar for you" ... and 2) what the previous build's answer to the question 1 was. E.g. <get src="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/xalan1.2.3.zip"; dest="xalan.jar" conditional-question="Would you blah blah blah.." verbose="true" usetimestamps="true"/> Regards, - Paul H __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
