Stefan, you're absolutely right, I was misled by some comments in the source
code.
With your suggestions, things work perfectly for me both on Windows & Unix.
Two minor things :
(1) I didn't find the documentation you mentioned
The documentation for <group>'s packages attribute says that multiple
packages need to be separated by ":".
Where would I find this kind of information other than in the Users'
manual ?
(2) The Users' Manual describes a "groups" nested element analogous to the
group attribute.
I suppose that's a type-o, shouldn't it be "group" as well ?
And finally, I'm interested more in the design of Ant and possible design
patterns.
Is there some documentation about the design of Ant similar to what's
available for Xalan ?
Thanks again for your great contributions !
Karsten
