<p>Sometimes, you may find that Ant just doesn't do what you want. It isn't a bug, as such, since Ant |
|
|
|
|
|
is working the way it is supposed to. Perhaps it is something that hasn't been thought of yet, or |
|
|
|
|
|
a completely new task. For these situations you will want to raise an enhancement request. |
|
|
|
|
|
Enhancement requests are managed using the same Apache Bug Database described above. |
|
|
|
|
|
These are just a different type of report. If you look in the database, you will see that one of |
|
|
|
|
|
the severity settings for a bug is "Enhancement". So, just fill the bug report in, and |
|
|
|
|
|
in the description, state how you would like to have Ant enhanced. Again you should check whether |
|
|
|
|
|
there are any existing enhancment requests that cover your needs. If so, just add your vote to these. |
