Under UNIX, if a wildcard does not glob to anything, it is passed to exec as-is. So this means the only case where having a -? option would not work is when the user has a file named "-X" in the current directory, where X is any character. I think this case is so obscure, it can basically be ignored. I have personally never seen a file named "-X" in UNIX or Windows. It would be extremely difficult to work with on UNIX (you'd have to pass "--" as the first option to most commands). If you want to be really robust, you could have Ant check for the existence of "-X" files in the cwd that have the same name as an option that was passed in, and handle it as follows: o print a warning, ie "WARNING: A file named -h exists in the current directory. The -h option will be ignored. o ignore the -h option Regards, Ian
