Me too. > On issue (1) above, regarding collisions, I think Steve's argument about IDEs putting stuff into the CLASSPATH is an important one as well. It may make a -antlib switch for Ant users in IDEs difficult to do. And it may add tasks to the default namespace that users never wanted to see there if we enabled autoloading by default. So it is a good case against autoloading by default. And a good case where the user doesn't always know what she is doing. > If we can satisfy both cases, so much the better, but > if not surely we must all see that we should err on > the side of caution (assume the user does NOT know > everything)? Note that with -antlib the user is in control and explicitly says which antlibs to load into the default namespace, so we could assume more knowledge.
