Sounds good. I've submitted the tasks to the [email protected] list and will post to this list a link if/when they accept the tasks. Thanks for your direction. I wasn't sure whom to submit the optional tasks to, but since there are optional tasks on the ant site I sorta figured that the ant group was the appropriate place. Maybe a sentence or two could be added to the "optional tasks" or "developing with ant" sections of the documentation that concisely states what to do if you (the ant user) want to share your custom tasks with the world. -bree |--------+-----------------------> | | Stefan | | | Bodewig | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | he.org> | | | | | | 10/17/2001 | | | 01:31 AM | | | Please | | | respond to | | | ant-dev | | | | |--------+-----------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: (bcc: Bree Vanoss/AMS/AMSINC) | | Subject: Re: Optional Task Submission: Jakarta-Tomcat 4.0 manager| | webapp tasks | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| On Tue, 16 Oct 2001, Bree Vanoss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean when you say "tomcat > itself".

Tomcat already ships with some version of Ant, adding a custom task to Tomcat wouldn't be too difficult. These tasks will be very useful for people running Tomcat4, but not for the rest of the Ant community, so Tomcat feels like the natural home for it (much like the AspectJ compiler task is part of AspectJ). We'd add a pointer to the tasks at <http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/external.html> and make those people using older version of Tomcat4 aware of it. What do you think? Stefan
