Thanks for the good word about WebObjects ;-)

I think it would be best if the tasks and maintenance burden lie closest to those that do WO development.
WOProject team will be committed to the maintenance of these tasks as a part of Ant just as we are doing it now.
Technically there is nothing about your tasks
that require they be embedded within the Ant distribution. We are currently pushing back on taking on such tasks within Ant's core. If other committers are for it, then I support that, but it still is unlikely that your tasks would make it into Ant 1.5 (there are only a few days left for the feature cut-off).
As far as dates go I was looking 1-2 month into the future to finialize what we have. By than there might be a new development release in the works. We will definiteley wait till this happens.
I commend you for keeping the WebObjects world alive! I support your efforts! I've had the pleasure of working in the WO-world in the past myself although not currently.

Hi,
I am curious what is the process of offering new optional tasks to be included in Ant? What are the guidelines and criteria?
What I have in mind is a couple of tasks that are a part of WOProject [http://objectstyle.org/woproject/ ]. They deal with support of java projects that use WebObjects [http://webobjects.com] from NeXT/Apple. WebObjects (even though living in obsurity in the mainstream Java world) is one of the best application servers out there. It has rather big (and growing) dedicated community of developers. "Officially" WebObjects projects are built using Makefiles. Ant is a savior in this area just like in many other places.
Since Ant has quiet a few tasks that work with products from commercial vendors, I thought it would be appropriate to suggest WOProject tasks for inclusion. Most tasks are in production state already, some will be there soon. WOProject current license is a copy of Apache License, so there is no problems on this side either.
Before WOProject team finalizes the new release, I'd like to know what is involved in making this an optional ant task.
Thanks
