[xep-support] Ant Task ClassCastException

[Kevin Ross]

Hello David,

How would I implore my client to spend more for a developer license and
access to the source, only to make a fix and submit it to you?  I will
pay you so I can fix it myself and make it work properly, then give you
the fix for free?

David, I am an open-source advocate, and I am very active in the
community.  If you will open your source to the ANT task to me, I would
be willing to look into the problem, as well as share a fix with
RenderX.  I will not however, pay more to fix your product/accessory.

Please forgive my tone, I am responding defensively as I see your
message in the offense.  I am trying to solve a problem, not criticize
any particular solution you have to date.

Kevin Ross

Kevin,

RenderX has allocated as many human resources as it found feasible at
a particular stage of development to Ant task. XEPTask can be
efficiently 
used for launching XEP and eliminating startup overhead. It is stable
and documented. It is provided as an optional component and does what
it is intended for for each kind of licenses it is supplied with.

Users willing to improve or modify XEP Task are welcome to license
Developer (including stamped) or Server (including stamped) editions
of the software and obtain the source code. The licenses will
include dedicated e-mail support, patches and fixes are welcome
and credits are given.

The reason behind a particular design of each of XEP components is to
provide 
stable and usable code within constraints imposed by the development
process.
