What I would like to have is checkout several relarted projects (ant, moo, tomcat,, xalan, xerces, cocoon, you name it) and building them via one central build.xml file, having the resulting jar's properly placed for the next build step. For me, it is not importand where the build and dist directorys are located - as long as I get an ant clean command to purge them away :^) Personally I feel better with 'out of scope' places build and dist locations - it is so nice to have a big memory drive to compile lots of small java classes...
