I agree about not losing the compiler property -- I need to specify which compiler is being used going in.

This would be a very bad idea, as far as I'm concerned -- I can't just have things compiling willy-nilly with any old compiler Ant happens to find. Yikes! Which compiler I'm using needs to be a very controlled aspect of the build. Diane ===== ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
