I've written a new task to implement this, called Timed. This is a trivial subclass of Sequential. I've written this as a new core task, though maybe it should be optional. How should I submit this task to the project? There's a new .java file, the matching HTML documentation, and modifications to coretasklist.html and default.properties. Should I just send a [PATCH] e-mail to the ant-dev mailing list, containing the new code inline, with diffs for the changed files, and a brief explanation? Cheers, Bob -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 September 2001 13:24 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Timing parts of the build. You could create a task similar to Sequential that implements TaskContainer and have it do this pretty easily. It would give you the capability of timing tasks all within a target, not across targets. Actually it might be cleaner to just patch Sequential.java to do it automatically and avoid two "sequential" tasks out there. It seems like it'd only take a few lines of code.

Timed.java
Description: Binary data
Timed
Description
Timed is a container task - it can contain other Ant tasks. It is a specialized version of sequential, which times the tasks which it contains. Like sequential, the nested tasks are executed in sequence. The timing information is in seconds.
Parameters
| Attribute | Description | Required |
| property | destination property for the timing. | Yes |
The timed task has a single compulsory attribute, which identifies the property which the elapsed time will be stored in. Any valid Ant task may be embedded within the timed task.
Example
<timed property="time.elapsed">
<junit ...>
</timed>
<echo message="JUnit took ${time.elapsed} seconds">
