Greetings:
Example use case:
We have one target that creates libraries that the rest of our code builds against. I have a dual-processor machine, and I would LOVE to be able to run subsequent targets (the ones the depend on the libraries) in different threads, thereby utilizing both processors in the build process.
Perhaps it is complicated, and for that reason you (the ANT developers) may decide against implementing multithreaded target execution. From my POV, there are valid use cases.
Cheers,
Matt

* Multithreaded execution of tasks within the same target.
+1 if using some sort of container task; there is a good visual affordance to indicate which tasks are running in parallel, when they start, and when they finish.
* Multithreaded execution of targets.
-1. Again, I'm with Conor on this. I think it will simply get too complicated. Also, I can't really see a good use case for this.
