It couldn't hurt. :-) I have passed the contact information that Stefan Bodewig gave me to our national accounts area and they were going to make contact. I'll follow up to see how that's going.

Almost every IDE offers some kind of project capability and a way to compile that project, but (usually) only from within the IDE itself. I desire a stand-alone build system that is cross-platform (Win2K, Linux, Solaris, AIX, Mac OS X at a minimum), easy to use (not all of our developers will have time to learn anything complicated *cough*make*cough*), capable of being run from a command-line or script. Ant meets all these needs with style. My point was to try and find alternatives that I could list so that my proposal to use Ant didn't look like it was written by a founding member of the Ant fan club! :-) Simon ----------------------------------------------------------------- Simon P.
