I wasn't thinking about 'moving the code around' for now, just changing the status from experimental to 'accepted' for a possible m1/beta/release of embed as a standalone addon for 1.5, and to make sure that the list of supported features is accepted for ant1.6. The goal of the standalone release is to provide access to 1.6 features in 1.5 ( top level tasks, etc ), and to create the precedent for a 'decoupled' ant release. One of the things I'm working on is ProjectComponentFactory/ProjectComponentHelper - which will hook into component creations, allowing various antlib solutions. This will also allow future releases of sub-sets of the current tasks and lazier-loading of tasks ( which will also cut 2-3 secs of the startup time :-). Some code will have to move into the main tree - the interfaces/hooks. If a concept is accepted by majority, and if a particular interface is accepted as a hook mechanism - it must go to both ant1.6 and the standalone embed, and the mechanism will be useable in ant1.5 the same as it'll be in ant1.6. -- Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
