I'm not sure whether I'm parsing this correctly. Are you proposing to refactor the project building code (which would be fine) without care for backwards compatibility (which would get my -1 if you want to do it in Ant 1.x)? Thinking about the situation Jose Alberto describes, this bug is breaking our type system, but at the same time it allows data types to be defined inside TaskContainers, which makes them parallel targets even stronger. I kind of like this and tend to call it a feature 8-) Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
