What means "maintained" ... some Ant committers are also in the AC-team. And AC-questions are done here also. Only the repository is at sourceforge. >Has anybody out here used them to >build their c,c++ project successfully.

What >advantage the task "java" gives me over the using exec task to >execute the java.exe. s/java/javac/ * Why use Ant not invoking the tools from the command line? Because it´s easier .... * <exec> needs an executable while <javac> accesses the compiler from tools.jar * better support ** nested src-paths (e.g. filesets) ** compiler settings * <javac> works as a facade to several compilers, JDK 1.3, 1.4, 5.0, Jikes...
