In response to the 2nd email you sent me when I use the .getProject().getName() where does that info come from. Does it come from the .xml file where i did give the project the name. Maybe if I understood that I could understand how the class and the .xml file works. thanks in advance for all your help.

If you shared your example details with us, I'm sure we could help get you on the right track with it. Chapter 19 of Java Development with Ant has this review about its Ant internals, and I of course wholeheartedly recommend it too: "I'm planning on extending ANT to do specialized testing, so I intend to write custom tasks. I've learned more about ANT's internals reading 4 PAGES (467-470)..."
