If we make commons-logging/log4j/whatever as part of ant1.6, then in 1.6+ tasks can use it for _debug_ info. Things like the parameter used for javac or exec, or what files are beeing copied can use that. For backward compat, we could keep both paterns - if( project.debug ) -> use BuildListener to broadcast the info. if( taskLog.debug || target.debug ) -> use commons-logging to debug. It may seem like a huge amount of work - but it can be done incrementally, and at least in my experience this "fine tunned" debug is needed the most in few tasks ( javac, exec, copy, antcall and maybe few others ) Costin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
