I would have preferred this but to my knowledge there's no standard location for antlib.xml that I could use to load it from. I want this function to work without there needing to be a project, so relying on Antlib namespace declarations is out. I don't want to go searching through every entry in every JAR on the classpath just to find antlib.xml files. I agree that it's a little clumsy to be using META-INF/services here but this is exactly the kind of application that the services stuff was added to support. Moreover, Ant does have the capability of using META-INF/services for other things (I think ProjectHelper is one example) so this isn't entirely without precedent in the Ant codebase. > > If someone else is willing to work on the command line stuff that > > would be appreciated: > > should be done in trunk. > > Both Main.printVersion and Diagnostics.doReport now get the current > loglevel passed in as an (additional) argument. Awesome, thanks!
