Some comments on Ant Spec 0.5: > Question: Should we say that tasks belong in a JAR file with the .tsk extension?
This is a good suggestion, otherwise regular jars might be mistaken for a task by the end-user. (Internally we can check on the Ant-Task-Class property in the manifest. > Configuration of Tasks > <SNIP> > (What to do if the type isn't a File or a simple type, look > for the class and see if it has a setString method?) I think already has been discussed that the type could be anything, as long as it is primitive or a class with a String-constructor (so it is not restricted to File). If this fails, bail out...
