I looked at this option a little bit a while back, and have only one concern -- multiple threads trying to compile at the same time. Ant tasks generally assume that they don't need to worry about thread safety issues, so we need to review this code carefully. (Of course, this issue applies even more so to the "new" Javac entry point in 1.4 -- it writes error messages to System.out). > > And also use the same ant mechansim, a global property - it's > > possible other tools will need a compiler ( what is cocoon doing ? ) > > ? > > I don't know recent Cocoon.
