I dont expect Javac to do any job other then compile source code; though I do expect it to understand the file:// protocol at a minimum; in a future where data is potentially disambiguated by namespaces we may find our notions of data in any form drifting from thinking of data islands demarcated by physical islands (lets just say files at this point) to data living all at once inside the same container (or view). > is that you can just as well provide an XSLT to extract the code and put > it on a file so that it can be compiled by any javac compiler. Same with > ANT. there are many ways to skin this cat....and I have done em all. I think we will all wish in the near future that anything that consumes XML has such a default ignore unknown xml handling, just makes life a little easier when interoperating. ok, dropping this, no issue here as DD has said. ta, Jim Fuller
