Could you please expand Stefan? What's going on around the idea of Polymorphism in Ant? (beyond <datatype refid="xyz" /> that is)
I vaguely recall the Ant2 proposals had something like Polymorphism, but they're both long dead, and I can't recall anything concrete around it for the 1.x Ant line. Thanks for any precisions. --DD PS: Defining id'd datatypes outside of Ant to be shared by tasks *is* important, and if anything around Polymorphism takes more than a few weeks to congeal, then I'd vote (non-binding of course ;-) for the patch. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Bodewig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 11, 2003 9:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Patch] es to be submitted > http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17007 allow to > define ZipFileSet(s) outside of Zip task this is an easy one, And at the same time something that I wouldn't want to apply. It interferes with several proposals to introduce some kind of polymorphism in Ant. I'm sure that you are not aware of them, but there've been plans and even complete code for such things.
