I so agree with you! That expression language could (should IMHO!) be XPath (JXpath or Jaxen are candidates, or the Xalan one?) where Ant properties would be available as XPath properties, and some of Ant's condition made into XPath functions. We'd be restricted to boolean XPath expressions only, and have no access to any DOM tree initially, allow I would actually like to be able to navigate the DOM of the build file (but that's another story). So Ant would have an XML friendly, very well defined and documented expression language. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
