Oops - I forgot to answer this bit. Aspects would be one way of implementing it. You could specify preference javac.compiler="jikes" and then the aspect would try to set the compiler attribute to jikes in the javac task if it had not already been set. Thus there are no magic attributes as such but we still have a flexible system - actually it may be a bit too flexible ;) -- Cheers, Pete -------------------------------------------------- "An intellectual is someone who has been educated beyond their intelligence." -------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
