Probably.
Regarding numbers 4 and 5: I'm making a lot of this up on the fly, but I'm
trying to request that Ant be able to support the kinds of scripting that
people seem to want to do. The <script> example in the Ant doc shows writing
JavaScript code to perform a task, but what I think you'd really like is to be
able to include the normal XML of a task inside the script. So the example in
the doc would be (very roughly) something like:
<for "i=1; i<=10; i++">
<echo message="i * i">
</for>
or perhaps
<for var="i" start="1" end="10">
<echo message="${i} * ${i}">
</for>
So what this needs above the current <script> task is the ability to have
embedded tasks as XML elements, and what this needs above the "simple flow
control" is variables and expression evalutation.
Take this with a grain of salt, as I'm not very experienced with scripting
languages.
