It's almost exactly like them. The difference is that the current PropertyHandler design is extremely clumsy to use (as I'm sure the AntXtras guys would attest). The props antlib serves two purposes: (1) to validate the concepts applied in the PropertyHelper API redesign, and (2) to ease the transition for those users relying on AntXtras and/or any other extensions to the current API. -Matt > http://antxtras.sourceforge.net/AntXtras/overview.html#valueuris > AntXtras looks VERY interesting, but it's kind > of complicated > > Anyway i would like MORE stuff like > ${toString:myid} :-) > > Regards, Gilbert > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?
