I'm with you. Approach 4. To me Approach 1 is a non-starter. There is no reason to compromise either the efficiency or the reliability of the javac task to support this abortion. The maintainers of the original javac task should not have to take on responsibility for maintaining it and the bugs that may arise from the attempt to merge J# support with it.
On the other hand, though, ant is open source and if someone really wants support for this, they can refer to the existing javac task and write their own Optional Task copy of it that supports J#. But they should not expect the maintainers of the project to maintain this for them, especially when the whole purpose of J#, as far as I can see, is to wean developers away from java. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 1/4/2002 4:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: RE: Ant for J#?
