I think for a bit. I think everyone decided to wait for Ant2.0 but Ant2.0 dev has been put off till after PMC meeting when they decide who gets to run the group/project/Ant2.0 (if anybody). After that it could pick up again. >The reason this relates is because I'm thinking, >specifically, about Jose Alberto's <case> task, which apparently, even >though it's its own separate task, is still being vetoed for commit, even >as an optional task.

Did a final decision about it get made? good-idea that no one has stepped up to handle yet ;) Thou I suspect if you bugged Jon he has access to create a CVS module jakarta-ant-contrib that you could start it off with ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
