After looking over the code, I would actually prefer that you NOT use the name "dependencies" since I think the intent and philosophy of the getlibraries task is completely different from my dependencies task. My intent was to be declarative - defining a fileset or classpath by specifying artifacts which would usually by found in a local cache, and BTW also being able to populate that cache from one or more repositories. It was also specifically intended to use the vocabulary and concepts already established by maven, rather than inventing new ones. Your task appears to be more procedural, intending to download files, but willing to bypass the downloading if they are locally available. The two don't appear to be really compatible, and anybody who used my task would find their scripts broken if you take over the name to mean something very different. For your task, the name getlibraries is probably a better name. Now if I could persuade you to use my task in preference, and simply add the extensible repository model... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
