I use ant as a build tool for java programs. I get really frustrated by its startup time and wish it was a native program. Right now I'm running it from a special shell that only loads it once, but this is really a hack. Only loading the compiler code once is only one small reason for using ant, the main reason I use it is for its java dependency generation. And it can use jikes instead of the normal compiler, which means it wouldn't be any slower under native code. > Don't let this stop you though! Ok, this is what I wanted to hear... Thanks. jason
