Hi, Stefan,

I don't think the antlib has the same support for custom license
matchers than the Maven plugin does. However, I never came to
implementing that because I intended to discuss the implementation
with an expert like you.

What the Maven plugin supports, is something like that

     <customLicenseMatcher class="com.foo.MyCustomLicenseMatcher">
        <unknownProperty>34098</unknownProperty>
        <someOtherUnknownProperty>true</someOtherUnknownProperty>
     <customLicenseMatcher>

However, I haven't got an idea how to handle such "unknown properties" in Ant.

Jochen
