Oh well, if you embrace the dark side and go this route, then the whole thing could be generalized to apps other than Ant, like Maven[1] which is even slower :) Talking of which, there's this nifty utility for constructing classloader hierarchies and launching apps, which Maven uses: http://forehead.werken.com/ It would automate the process of constructing a classloader from ${block.home}/${ant.home}/lib/*.jar and invoking the wrapper class in it. As it's configured from a text file, it would make your app generic, not limited to Ant. > BTW. Would Avalon team be interested in including such app in > jakarta-avalon-apps repository ? Certainly, it sounds neat. --Jeff [1] http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
