What exactly do you mean by "default" excludes list? One that applies to <javac>, <copy>, <cvs>, etc., etc.? If so, that won't work. Imagine: exclude= some/unsused/path/foo.java <javac> perhaps should exclude that, but <cvs> probably shouldn't? And, honestly, if you have a file with a \r in it's name, it's time to rename the file. You're just asking for problems with all sorts of tools with a filename like that. ----- stephan Generic Unix Computer Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.einsurance.de Office: +49 (89) �552 92 862 Handy: �+49 (179) 211 97 67 "...control is a degree of inhibition, and a system which is perfectly inhibited is completely frozen." -- Alan W.
