It used to be used for that, yes. But this part of its functionality is no longer needed in Ant 1.6 as we've dropped JDK 1.1 compatibility. >> CVS HEAD is going to drop Java 1.1 compatibility, so some changes >> in the whole classloader area are to be expected. > > could you elaborate, and maybe be explicit on how this can affect my > doing ATM? If only I knew 8-) One thing that looks as if it was changing is that Ant's classes themselves will be loaded by a classloader that is not the system classloader. I don't think it is going to affect your doing, but I'm not 100% sure. The other thing is that you may be able to simplify things when you know you don't have to care about 1.1 compatibilty. Stefan
