In particular, when compared with the implementation in ANT1.x it would remove the limitation that forbids TaskContainers from having inside elements other than Tasks. I would like to be able to for example specify a task container that defines also a <classpath> for some reason only God knows ;-).
Jose Alberto,
Speaking about this Ant 1.x limitation, it may not be as big a problem as you may think, if you are able to structure your task a little differently. The idea would be to have two levels, the task itself which may have classpaths, and whatever nested elements you wish to support and then within that a nested container into which the desired tasks are added - something like
<mytask>
<classpath .../>
<myspecial element .../>
<tasks>
<echo ...>
<javac ...>
</tasks>
</mytask>Then it is just a matter of coordinating things in the outer task.
So, not wishing to distract you from Ant 2.x thinking, but this may help you out in the here and now :-).
