That is a difficult question to answer; I am not yet sure whether explicitly named properties scopes are necessary, but antlib scopes strike me as only one use of scoped definitions; i.e. wrap any set of <[[task|type]def|antlib|import]>s in a scope and... what? This smells like a can of worms I'm not sure we want to open just yet... one can argue against the need for antlib scope; if a property needs local scope between two or more definitions in the same antlib, then the proper approach should be the use of a macrodef containing the propertyscope within its <sequential> block. > > Jose Alberto > -Matt __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
