As someone who wears a "build-master" hat (among others), I can say this: If there's some compelling reason to switch, it'll get done. IOW, if there's something I really want/need with Ant2 that I can't get from Ant1, then I'll grab Ant2 and have at the build. Afterall, it wouldn't be any different than finding some wholly new tool that does something better or not available with the currently used tool and switching to that (eg., scrapping an old Make process to switch to a slick new tool). As long as the pay-off is there, and the impact on the process end-users is minimal (eg., developers can still use the new process as easily, or more so, as the old one), it's not only not that big of a deal to re-work things, it's pretty much my job :) Diane ===== ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
