I'm pretty flat out for the next ocuple of weeks, then JavaOne, then holidays - so I'll revisit this next month :) Is this still going to give enough time to prepare for Ant 1.7? > 2.

I thought that was why dependencies had a fileset ID, so you didn't need to worry about constructing paths, or knowing where the local repository is if using external config? Anyway, happy for this to go into JIRA. It can use the code already in Maven to set the property and it would be flexible across layouts. The proxy idea in a later email is also good, JIRA'd. - Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
