That needs the possibility to pass args. ATM the ant -diagnostics taskname sounds to start the target "taskname". -help, -version and -diagnostics quit the oata.Main.processArgs() method without any additional parameters so this wouldnt happen. But supplying a parameter for these attributes would be incosistent to the usual invocation syntax ant [options] [targetname] IMO something like ant -diagnostics -- taskname would be more consistent. And it would allow to pass additional parameters (I think DD has done a Bug for that :) Jan
