I don't think there is, but it's an interesting idea. Might be used to prototype build steps at the command line for example. And if you continue that kind of thinking, lead up to a kind of Ant REPL. It reminds me a bit of something I did in the past (http://markmail.org/message/32zq2gviwqtq46z7) except here you don't want positional arguments, but named ones. I think you'd be limited to attributes of the task, unless -nest/attr implicitly declared a nested element. (but then how to configure several similarly named nested elements?) Would make an interesting little project, although I'm not sure anyone as enough of an itch to code that up. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
