Yes, it's true, I didn't know this library ;)) Thank you very much, the lib is really cool, for sure I will use it and forget the task I made.
But I have a question, why these tasks are not in the external tools and tasks list? (well, at least I can't see it) bye albert ps: luckily the class implementation didn't take me long time ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 1:23 PM Subject: AW: new ant task proposal It seems that you don´t know the Ant-Contrib library and the <foreach> task?
