Sure not - I have no idea how long it may take until a first functional Ant 2alpha will be there. But I see some potential that Ant 1.4 (or 1.5) already supports task libraries using the same concepts as Ant2 will do - just using a different implementation. > Perhaps moving War to an optional.j2ee package would be a start? > Stuff like this is obviously not core - or is it? No it is not. But separating things out in the current architecture is problematic when it comes to backwards compatibility - if we have to include j2ee.jar with every build of Ant (not the way we distribute optional.jar, but as integral part of the binary build) what would be the difference?
