Hello all--
I've just reviewed the latest Ant trunk (1.8RC1 I believe) to estimate
how much effort it would take to port my extensions (esp. those
dependent on the 1.7x PropertyHelper implementation). For this class
I have a few questions about current code:
1) No way for an evaluator to test if it's already installed as
getDelegates() is protected and there is no public getEvaluators()
method.
2) Still no way to have PropertyHelpers passed through to subprojects
automatically (all configuration lost). [See Project.initSubproject]
You might, though it wouldn't necessarily be the most intuitive
thing, be able to accomplish this using a custom Executor. Not sure
how comfortable that would be in the context of AntXtras, but I
thought I'd throw it out there nonetheless.

3) Even with the current rework, installing a recursive property
evaluator requires that I replace the entire PropertyHelper because:
1) The ParseProperties utility is created directly by the helper
and that's where the algorithm basically lies. I would be nice
to replace just *this* bit...
2) The ParseProperties seems to be assuming a sequential walk thru
the input string (it moves from left->right first getting a
property name then mapping that name to a value...) Maybe I'm
missing something here (I hope)?...
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thanks,
