http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18060 add aliases for common Ant options, particularly -projecthelp Summary: add aliases for common Ant options, particularly - projecthelp Product: Ant Version: 1.5.2 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I use the -projecthelp option quite often, but it is annoying to type, since it's so long. I think a one-letter alias for it (similar to the -q/-v/-f/-l aliases for -quiet/-verbose/-buildfile/-logfile) would be extremely cool. I suggest -?, since it's intuitive and it's not currently in use. Also, you might as well make -h an alias for -help while you're at it. For that matter, why not do all the options, at the least the common ones - like CVS does. I would suggest something like the following: -help, -h print this message -projecthelp, -? print project help information -version, -V print the version information and exit -diagnostics print information that might be helpful to diagnose or report problems. -quiet, -q be extra quiet -verbose, -v be extra verbose -debug, -d print debugging information -emacs, -e produce logging information without adornments -logfile, -l <file> use given file for log -logger <class> the class which is to perform logging -listener <class> add an instance of class as a project listener -buildfile, -f <file> use given buildfile -file <file> "" -D<property>=<value> use value for given property -propertyfile, -p <name> load all properties from file with -D properties taking precedence -inputhandler <class> the class which will handle input requests -find <file>, -F search for buildfile towards the root of the filesystem and use it Regards, Ian
