If so, that's fine. I just wondered, how much would have been covered already - and if there was something else. If we've covered everything else (and aggreed upon) this goal will be reached automatically, right? > A simple run down would be > - separation of task API and implementation (ie servlet spec vs > tomcat) Don't we have this already - even in Ant 1? > - separate task engine from project engine What are task engine and project engine here? > - pluggable ProjectBuilders > - pluggable converters > - possible pluggable aspects (ie log-policy, classloader policy > etc) > - separate loaders of tasks and task registries etc etc. Already covered elsewhere. > There are issues that no one has yet brough that I was going to wait > for design or impl phase to bring up ... but if you really want me > to do it I can spout a lot of buzz-word compliant mumbo-jumbo? ;) No, please wait 8-) >>>>* provide support for CJAN >>> >>> +1 >> >>In what way?

So we have two levels here, (1) some tasks - fine with me - and (2) maybe build a CJAN system ourselves at a later stage - not really related to Ant2 at all IMHO. Thank you for your clarification Stefan
