Also, I'm defining my <javac> in a presetdef; I don't think it would work there either. If we wrap the the whole <javac> in <if>/<then> I could see a combinatorial explosion of conditions as we add more and more kinds of command line arguments. Finally, I have a general dislike of the <if>/<then> from ant-contrib; my build scripts currently don't use it and I try to avoid it if at all possible. Rich
