I thought of this solution early on but discarded it as impractical for various reasons (also, it doesn't "feel" right). One of those reasons is that we have a common build base file which defines many tasks. If multiple users are building various projects (especially if multiple users are working on several branches of the same project) it can be a pain to manage the files to which I am trying to maintain user session data. Sure, you can always write to the user's home directory, but if I have builds going in parallel this gets messy as well. It makes much more sense to me to have a thread-safe session like object where I can store data generated throughout the build process, and refer to this data as needed during my large, anastomotic builds. Ant does everything else so well, and is so enormously useful, this seems like a next-logical-step, especially under the context of user-input-driven builds with the "input" task - that's a pandora's box you can't close back. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
