I've got some tools that are wired into ant via separate adapter classes (that implement Task). I'd like to keep the tools such that they're not directly dependent on Ant classes, but I'd also like to make them smarter when used in Ant. Specifically, I'd at least like to be able to turn on and off chatty build-time status messages if "ant" is running with "-q".
I realize this touches on a lot of fairly complex things going on inside the Ant runtime; I'm not looking for anything fancy. This seems like it might be a fairly common issue -- is it?
