Defaults to false for backwards compatability ? Defaults to *true* for backwards compatability, isn't it? Actually I don't think it would be a good idea to change that right now, we know we are going to break whatever hack gets into 1.3 in Ant2 anyway. Adding a new feature in 1.3 implies that we are going to support it in 2.x as well IMHO and this may very well not be true for what you propose. Given that -1 should mean "I will help to implement a better solution", make that a -0 for now ;-). I don't know any other solution ATM. Stefan
