Can you also include chown and chgrp in 1.3,which I mailed here a week ago?

I said in the release plan that we would accept new features, et al up to the 5th. If you feel you could have a bootstrap.java in place and building ant well enough before that, I am comfortable with that. Duncan's AntEaster proposal was going down this path, so it may be worth a look. I can help if you need it. OTOH, if you think it need it would need some shaking down and may not be stable by the 5th, I think it would be best to wait. After all, this will not really be visible to ant users. If we move to a bootstrap.java, then I would also like to look at moving some of the logic that is in ant.bat/ant into Java code. I think that this will require playing with classloaders <shudder/> Conor --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
