I get real sick of people complaining about Ant on the ant user group and talking up Make all the time. If Make is so great and solves all your problems then just use it and shut up. On the other hand offering suggested enhancements to a build tool rather than bashing one or the other is more constructive.

This works, but if this is it, something seems broke to me. Thanks William.

Now the question: Why does the following seemingly simple and straight-forward ant xml script _not_ remove the subdirs under the classes dir (Windows NT OS)? Thanks in advance. <target name="clean"> <delete dir="${dir_classes}/*"/> </target> NOTE: ** after the / doesn't work either!
