I've been using ant for more than a year, frequently study the documentation, and also can't find a list of all elements used in standard ant buildfiles with an explanation of their purpose. I think such a list or an index to the current docs that is automatically checked to make sure it includes every available tag would save me hours on every project I work on.
It's easy to get to some documentation about each task, however I find it effectively impossible to find documentation about almost anything else, such as paths, filesets, properties, targets, etc. This stuff is mostly buried 3 levels deep under misleading top level topics. I haven't checked the 1.5 docs, just what is on the website. david jencks On 2002.05.06 05:26:38 -0400 Erik Hatcher wrote: > Obviously you aren't looking in the right place.
