I agree with your analysis. Your enhanced PropertyFile task doesn't fit the filterchain framework, although as Antoine rightly writes, many other things do fit it and should be implemented or retrofitted into that framework.
Regarding your submission per se, it really depends on how you coded it. What you did was more or less proposed before, but it wasn't clear at the time whether the code was original or simply modified code of the JDK Property class from SUN, and thus it didn't go anywhere. Of course, taking/hacking SUN's code is a big no-no. If yours is indeed original, then by all means post it. Easiest is to submit patches in cvs diff -u format attached to a BugZilla report. If it's brand new code as opposed to modification of existing code (already under the Apache license), you'll have to send a Software Grant form to the ASF as well. Stefan knows the details better than me ;-) I hope this helps. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
