Pete, I have a few quick comments.
You have removed the junit.jar. Since you had championed it in the first place, I find that curious. I also find the taskdef'ing of the junit task odd. It is part of the ant definitions anyway. The install targets have gone. I used these to promote a build from my development area into my standard ANT_HOME area. Since I both develop and use ant I want to control over that. In other words ANT_HOME is NOT my development area. I think being able to install like this is a good thing and is common practice in make based projects (make install, etc) The release targets have all gone. I presume replaced by the dist target. The dist target creates the distribution files in the ant "root" directory. I would prefer in a separate directory for easier distribution/uploading. The naming of the files is not in line with the previous build script nor the website. The paths in the distribution start with "dist". Previous practice was to have this in the root directory. I think having a path is good, but I don't think it should be "dist". For example Tomcat 4.0's nightly binary build has everything under "jakarta-tomcat-4.0" There are no source distributions. These need to be prepared with the appropriate fixcrlf applied. I'll have a better look later on. Conor
