It was written about a year ago and basically allowed you to run *most* ant1 tasks. (At least the ones that didn't do naughty things). There was a few holes * it didn't redirect standard out like ant1.x * it didn't handle ant1.x listeners properly * it didn't handle any task that went and fiddled with inner bits (ie the optional.ide.* tasks) * it didn't gracefully handle tasks that reused other tasks via createTask() I am sure there are other things I am missing but it handled a lot of the ant1 tasks. I actually shipped a version of myrmidon that run a bunch of ant1 tasks as part of a product and they haven't complained ... too loudly yet ;) Anyways when I restarted working on myrmidon I removed it from CVS when I imported the main ant1.x tree because it caused funny buggers with gump. I didn't know enough about gump at the time to fix it and couldn't really be bothered. It is relatively easy to reimport the code once we are further along in converting the ant1.x tasks to myrmidon - and more importantly no myrmidon code resides in the ant1.x namespace. > > > Axe Configurable next :) > > > > aww! > > > > Before I do that I am going to axe CascadingException and replace a > > codedependency with a "pattern" dependency. ie we can specify > > that exceptions > > that declare a method "Throwable getCause()" are > > "cascading"/"nested" etc and > > then a whole chunk of code becomes independent of both Ant and Avalon ! > > ;) > > Yeah, and integrated with Java 1.4.
