[...] You don't have to convince me. :) FWIW I was asked recently by a french publisher about the potential readers of a book about Ant, I simply answered "all java developpers"..with a bemol about the level of course. They had some feedback from people that Ant was only used by experts and so the scope was too small for a book... but clearly they need a somewhat 'eye catching' title to introduce Ant as the 'java companion' for those that don't know what it is. I also asked why there were no book about Tomcat, I was answered that they found no one. I introduced them to Velocity as a JSP alternative for a book and they were interested by the idea. > > "on s'en fout" or "nous nous en foutons" first one being more appropriate in > > this case. > > It would be a good idea to have all flame-wars in French.

Out of curiosity where do you plan to put that package ? stay in tomcat land ? commons ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
