Well, if you call ant data, nag and deliver are data as well - they only say whom to send mail or what to put where but don't cause the corresponding actions to be taken. I can't recall Nicola Ken's proposal - I may have quickly skimmed through it, but don't really remember the details. Having a way to define what a project produces and using this information to determine whether a project has been built successfully or not has both pros and cons. A benefit of the current system is that a project that does more than just building jars can fail at a later stage (checking source style, formatting documentation, whatever) but such a failure doesn't affect the projects that depend on them as long as the jar has been created. Also not that the current <javadoc> does more then just say "oh, and there are some docs" - you can attach the javadocs of one project to a different project (see ant-contrib and cpptasks for example). This reminds me that I probably should commit my revised <javadoc> section of the Gump docs.
