I am pretty much in support of your approach, at least at the build file level. I'm still thinking about the desirability of nested tasks. Actually I was going to try and get some multithreading based on async attributes into 1.3 but I held off because of your patch. That may be a little ironic. > Having done the same with added properties like async="true" and all the > "MUST NOT async", "MUST async" and "MAY async" stuff the logic would be > hidden and it would be very difficult to see the red line through > the build > dependencies. Agreed. I think the threading structure should be mirrored in the build file structure. > > The mentioned complexity for task writers - I cant see this > point.

Don't consider it a dead topic.
