Can anyone help me to understand authoritatively what is allowed for name values and where in the Ant manual or specification I can
read more?

"-" and the "." as a leading character to indicate the name is local. But, you've given a good reason to avoid "-". Thanks!

Is there any notion of scoping? I'd love to hear what Ant
is capable of doing with respect to var, property, macrodef, scriptdef, etc. scoping for Ant 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8.
Thanks for your help.... it's very much appreciated!

Because of the syntax and Eclipse issues above, I tend to prefer runtarget over macrodef for zero-argument functions. Is there any
compelling reason to argue against using runtarget given the assumptions above?

The conditions <http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/conditions.html> page tells us: "Types include tasks, datatypes, scriptdefs,

check in the macrodef whether an element was actually used or not by the caller (again, in Ant only, possibly with Ant-Contrib).
What do you think? Can you improve on the
uming that an element has optional="true", is there a way to test whether the
element, in fact, is being used by the caller? This might be useful information to know inside the definition of the macrodef.
Thanks for your response, again!
