One way of handling this is to have an ant.conf file that is part of the distro. One of the properties of this file could be something like 'udpateserver=http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/latestversion";. This location could have a pointer to where the latest version was along with version number, etc. Then, in an installation like yours, you could change that -- thereby changing the action of `ant -selfupdate` to only grab your version. .duncan -- James Duncan Davidson [EMAIL PROTECTED] !try; do()
