I think you got the whole thing. My comments follow (mostly clarifications).
You have one thing I would change:
<property file="~/.ant.properties"/>
The tilde technically only works in Unix (or Cygwin). You would have to alter
it like this:
<property file="${user.dir}/.ant.properties"/>
("user.dir" is a system property set by the JVM)
Also, we might want to specify the property "build.deprecation" for deprecation
information during compilation. Projects are free to choose their own default
for that one.
Regarding your comment in the "distclean" about "Delete what?". There are some
projects that generate announcements and place the generated announcement at the
base.dir of the project. There is also the distribution folders that may have
been left over after an "ant dist" call.
The "test" alias is optional.
Lastly, if "printerdocs" is really only meant for users then it should be
renamed to "userdocs". Also, please note that printerfriendly documentation
is something that many professional sites have employed. They have a "Print
This" link that removes all the extraneous formatting. It might be a good
idea to adopt that approach if possible. The idea I had when presenting
this target was that we really need documentation that can be printed out.
most of the projects have the formatting on the documentation so that the
printer cuts off the right side.
