I've written a module for Forte for Java 1.0 that adds support for Apache's 
"Ant" build scripting tool and am trying to figure out the best way to open the 
source up and get it finished.  I would like to contribute it under the Apache 
license, I'm not sure if it would be better to host on a Sun CVS or 
Apache/Jakarta CVS server. Either way, the module currently:

*       Requires Xalan 1.0, Xerces 1.0.3 and any version of Ant Post March 1st
*       Coexists properly with the XML module
*       Allows building of Ant projects and execution of Ant targets from 
within the IDE
*       Displays properties of each project, target, or task
*       Allows extensibility through a configurable XML file that maps tasks to 
attribute sets
*       Contains a template for creating a new project (in progress)
*       Will allow addition of new tasks with auto-validation for the required 
set of attributes for that task (wizard in progress)

Please let me know ASAP, I am working on another extensive integration project 
using Forte and could really use any help with development of the module from 
the community.
