Yep ;) Though I would love to make Ant more conformant with JLS I believe there is several broken 1.1 compilers out there that we have to support ;( For Ant2.0 where it will be Java1.2+ specific we can remove the suport for these compilers. However if people were willing to allow Ant1.x usable by 1.1 but only compilable by 1.2+ then that could be an option ? (ie my preferred option) >b) Declare that pedantic mode is not to be used in Ant, and prevent people like me gettings warnings by modifying build.xml thusly: alternatively you could place "build.compiler.pedantic=false" in the per-project properties file - this is what I do ;) So drop a .ant.properties into jakarta-ant directory that has that in it and you should be fine.
