Gert beat me to posting that events sounds like a good way to deal with this :-) If you're going to define a handler for missing targets, then it would also be nice (and complete) to define handlers for other core events, such as 'invalid property' (-D:test, missing equals sign), or ... some other event. I'm drawing a blank, how many of these kinds of events are there, that it would be useful to catch and deal with in the build file? -- Troy Disclaimer Message: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s) named.
