Yeah, I've been working on other projects for quite a while but recently I got thrown back into low-level build stuff. I'm still trying to push some Ant patches through IBM's legal approval process so if/when that ever happens you're likely to see some more of me.
Anyway, I figured that there was no way to remove delegates, so my hacky work around will have to do for now I guess. I'm curious to get the community's thoughts on this: would delegate removal be a valuable thing to have? If there's a consensus that delegate removal is a good thing then I'm willing to work on it and submit it with the other patches that I have in the pipe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Jeffrey E.

Hi, Jeff! Seems like it's been awhile. :) Off the top of my head the only thing that occurs to me are ant/antcall/subant: the tasks that create a new project. :/ Matt On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 1:39 PM, Jeffrey E Care <ca...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > I have a situation where I'm retrofitting some old code to use the > PropertyHelper delegates that where added in Ant 1.8; in particular I need > to limit that scope to which a certain delegate is active. > > I know how to add a delegate but there doesn't seem to be any way of > removing a delegate once it's no longer needed: they seem to persist > forever.
