How do you want to compare XML output without it being generic ? Some may consider formatting as a difference some may not. Some may consider order as a difference some may not Some may consider attributes equals to the default implied value as a difference some may not. etc etc... > case was intended to help provide guidance as to what such a unit test > might encounter. Isn't this a very ant specific function? Not for me. For instance a specific function of ant is to read xml file, and it makes use of a parser...no parser was created in ant to do that. An xml diff tool is complex enough to justify it's existence in commons (assuming it's not already done I can't say) if it needs to be a jakarta project but certainly not in ant. Just my opinion of course. It does not mean I'm right. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
