You could use all other tasks as they are. Many tasks store their result in properties. Some (like loadproperties) in multiple props. > or how to implement it. :-) - Register the "tmp" as temporary prefix on Project - setNewProperty() (and the other *Propert* methods) check against the list of temporary props and allow overriding. - Project.deleteProperties(String prefix) would unset all properties with the registered prefix and deregister that. Just a quick idea ... Jan
