Are you referring to me? That's OK - I still love ya, Pete, but please, let us not be coy.
Further, if we're really moving to a container architecture with Ant2, then we should define a spec for the build file, execution engine, and task extensions API through a JSR and have a separate jakarta project for the optional task libraries, similar to the "taglibs" project that provides libraries for extending JSP. That project would build many jar files, which could be included in the project via build file reference & descriptor as mentioned above.

I have campaigned for this many a time but everytime there is a committer that will veto it ...
Just to be clear - you are not supporting a JSR style process, are you?
