This is part one of my response ;-) I have taken your 17 projects with slightly different compile targets as an example - no other has been provided yet. >>As my 1000 class tree building about 20 modules that make up about >>5-10 separate products is not a large scale project by the >>definition that it would need additional templating mechanisms, I'm >>obviously lacking the experience. > > Not sure if this is sarcasm or not? No it is not, but I admit it is on the edge to it - sorry, this is not the style I prefer. My build file - I have a single one - doesn't include a single ant or antcall task, and it is maintainable (at least by me). It doesn't need a single feature that you want to solve with templating, that's why I assume that I don't have the experience necessary to understand the complex needs of large scale build systems. > The question, is dynamic templating the right tool? To solve which problems? Back to step one, give me examples so I can understand the issues. Stefan
