It is interesting to see you arguing strongly against the Commons project but you seem to be arguing for Ant to become like the Commons. I don't see Ant being some sort of library for other projects. I'm all for reuse but perhaps the way to go would be to take those things from Ant into something like the Commons as reusable bits. After all most tasks will be strongly coupled into the Ant core and thus will require the ant.core to come along as well. > Monolithic jars make it hard to pick and choose tasks to include in these > sorts of environments. That isn't really true.
