I think the namespace also looks like a kludge! If we change things we'd better make it right this time, don't you think? :-) What about introducing an attribute on the <goal> element? Like "public" for example? <goal name="cactus:whatever" public="true"> [...] By default, a goal would be private. -Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
