Right, and what i'm saying about "extends Task" is that it's a single-command-line sed fix to update a class to use it. Build file compatibility will be broken, after all. Compared to that, having to sed a source file to update it to the latest ant API doesn't seem so extreme. > And I believe Steve brought up the > fact that there are JLS issues with backwards compatibility if we make Task > "implement Taskable" and move the declaration of execute() to Taskable. That bit i can't speak to at all. ----- stephan Generic Universal Computer Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.einsurance.de Office: +49 (89) �552 92 862 Handy: �+49 (179) 211 97 67 Student: "Master, you must teach me the way of liberation!"
