I am a new user that only knows Java to the 'hello world' level. The documentation is thin but does cover the basics. My biggest problems are the heavy Java influence in Ant and developing an improved non-Java src build process. These problems are not Ant related but my own learning curve. What works best is to read-try-read-try-learn and if that fails ask someone. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Larry V.

Have to agree with Diane here. Although the Ant documentation is terse, it provides the needed reference information. How a JVM plays with your classpath or how javadoc works is not something the Ant documentation should be expected to teach you. And Ant is open source, so if you're unclear on something - Use the source Luke! Diane Holt wrote: > > --- Suu Quan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Same here (not javadoc, but other tasks).
