Conflicts in XML file syntax. Is it more than that? Does Ant use different class loader instances for each of namespaces? (Can you confirm?) With JspC the issue is not the tasks having the same name, but the classes implementing those tasks having the same name. > I successfully use > namespaces for accessing all of the other tasks for Tomcat 6 and 7 without > one or the other "winning"; there's no reason I shouldn't be able to do > the same with the JspC task. Other tasks besides JspC are just HTTP clients to the Manager web application, that send GET or PUT request to it. I would say that it does not matter much whether you use Tomcat 6 or Tomcat 7 implementation of those tasks. For JspC task it is essential to use specific version of Tomcat, Moreover, it is essential to use specific minor version x.y.z as you have on your server, because there is no guaranteed compatibility with version x.y.w. > > I see no issues with discussing it a little more before filing Bugzillas. > However, I would point out that the Bugzilla enhancement request is > /exactly/ where you want to work on the specifications for the > enhancement, IMO.

It is easier to discuss on a mailing list, IMHO. 3. You can always add a link to the mailing list thread archive in your Bugzilla issue. Just my opinion. Do as you wish.
