They are Ant 2 proposals. Some info on Mutant: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/jakarta-ant/proposal/mutant/docs/de sc.html Some info on Myrmidon: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/jakarta-ant/proposal/myrmidon/docs/ index.html > > So, what you would do is, rather than instantiate, configure and > > execute the > > task objects directly, you would build the model for the project (like a > > DOM), and then could either persist the model to an XML file (or > > whatever > > representation you liked), or execute it in the ant engine. > That sounds like a really cool solution.

Currently, there's no offical ant 2 project per se. Instead, there's a couple of proposals, where people are trying stuff out, and putting together prototypes of what ant 2 might look like.
