I just finished reading through the summary of the ant2 features
and it looks good. Now come the questions. :-)
[1] Are we planning on having the ant2 optional and core tasks
continue to be part of seperate packages ?
I would love to
see another mechanism used to distribute these. Having done
many rebuilds of ANT in which I have had to remove/add
core/optional tasks I would love to have a cleaner mechanism
to define what is included in a current configuration of ANT.
The idea of changing a package name when an optional task becomes
partt of the core seems awkward.
This may already be handled/covered in the revised task definition
mechanism.
Is it ?
[2] Has any consideration been given to BuildID and VersionID tasks ?
One of the awkward things about components is that they often need to be
versioned separately from the build number so both IDs are needed.
Thanks for listening ,
