Theres a few claims he makes that is just blatently wrong ;) I suspect he has barely used Ant and thus is somewhat biased. > Ant has quickly become the build tool of choice, free choice, not a forced > one. This is not because 'make' is better. But then I've always disliked > make, so I'm biased. I actually like Make (well at least GNU Make) but Ant is definetly a far superior platform for working with java and similar systems. It is *currently* inferioir in complex setups or compiling native code. However with Ant2 I hope the complex setups will be easily tacklable. -- Cheers, Pete -------------------------------------------------- you've made a dangerous leap right over common sense, like some kind of metaphysical Evil Knievel --------------------------------------------------
