Method required to clear down the "recorderEntries" Hashtable in the ANT 1.5.3 Recorder Class

           Summary: Method required to clear down the "recorderEntries"
                    Hashtable in the ANT 1.5.3 Recorder Class
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: berryda@bigfoot.com


Would it be possible to include a method to clear down the "recorderEntries" 
Hashtable in the ANT 1.5.3 Recorder Class?

I am running ANT 1.5.3 through a self developed GUI that effectively manages 
the required tasks and the order of the tasks to build/deploy particular J2EE 
Project Types.

The GUI has a reset button which effectively allows the same Project to be re-
built (utilising the same file name for the record file name).

However as the GUI does not run System.exit when reset the "recorderEntries" 
Hashtable is never cleared with the consequence of not re-creating the output 
log file.

I realise this would not be a problem when run in command window/scripting mode.
