http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34398 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-04-11 18:21 ------- IMO, XSD is evil and misguided. That doesn't mean that people arent free to use it, but any attempt to retrofit ant to work with XSD is inherently doomed. It's just too inflexible, and very hard to mix XSD with dynamic typing/naming of elements, which is what ant offers (i.e. you cannot determine which set of elements are valid in ant unless you execute the build file and that of any inclusions). I would definitely -1 any attempt to use XSD as the type system for ant, a vote based on experience ( http://forge.gridforum.org/projects/cddlm-wg ) Putting that aside, it may be possible to have a verbose representation of a task invocation that didnt use XSD or other schema, if that makes it easier for machines to work with the language. But then, if you want machine only, why not defined an XML representation that can drive Ant directly, and is verbose for dependencies and other stuff that is implicitly hidden in strings, but which maps to ant classic. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
