I'm affraid I'm more than a little out of the VAJ Ant game, to put it mildly. However, from what I see in the Ant 1.5 documentation, Wolf and Christoph have integrated the work I did into the optional VAJ Ant tasks, so it should actually be easier to do things than with what I wrote. When I originally wrote the servlets, the only way to load a project into the workspace through the API required a specific version number (or identifier, sorry, I can't remember its been a while). You couldn't say "Give me the latest version." I haven't a clue if this has changed, probably Wolf or Christoph could answer that. > > It doesn't look that difficult to extend what you have already done, but > I'm not sure how much time I will have to work on this.
