Thanks to Andy for fixing the problem stopping Gant from compiling in
Eclipse.

In the interim I had been working with the old faithful Emacs and Bash
-- still my preferred tools :-) -- and added some new code. Using
Eclipse again it flags one of the lines as "Dead code."

It is certainly true that the statement is of the form:

 def x = ( true ? "A" : "B" )

so there is a certain amount of silliness (it is a place holder for some
real code, so it is not totally silly). However the term "Dead code" is
not one I would have used. Redundant possibly. Despite historic use of
"dead code", it is a poor term since the code was never actually alive
and "dead" is not actually the same as "cannot be executed".

I just thought I would raise this. It's a small point.

Russel.
