The "easiest" thing codewise is to move the instruments task to hibernate-tools, since the sourrounding <hibernatetool> task is the actual Ant entry point and the <configuration/>, <ejb3configuration>, <annotationconfiguration>, etc. are defined in there. There is also the whole freemarker/templating setup dependency. ...thinking about it an alternative way could be to define a superclass for the current org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask that would just handle the core-built-in ant tasks. then users would have the same ant "API", but users would have to change their <hibernatetool> taskdef to use the "tool" provided tasks. Another context for this alignment/move is the talks we have had about allowing customization of schemaexport/update ...that would also be relevant to ensure it fits into this scheme. -- -- Max Rydahl Andersen callto://max.rydahl.andersen Hibernate [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hibernate.org JBoss Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
