I know I'm in the minority. Most people don't bother writing their own tasks, or launching Ant from inside their code, nor would I expect them to... but I'm glad 2 hear it's getting better. 'Most folks' don't subscribe to ant-dev though since most folks are users.
If I get motivated enough, I'll email patches through.... but I have enough checkstyle thrills with maven and latka to keep me busy for the time being :) > Besides, isn't "Ant your bitch slave"?! :)) (I saw that in some quotes.txt > file you guys were committing to Maven - is that your quote?). Nope, that one's not mine....that's bob, I think, working on a jelly kicker for maven. I'm working on the java kicker, but it's not up to running ant yet. Hvaing said that Bob's hit many wonderful class loader issues :) My quote was one of the Rules of Acquisition - satisfaction is not guaranteed.

Understandable. Also keep in mind that you are in the minority in that the Ant API matters to you. Most folks prefer the Ant task documentation to be accurate. But, the good news is with my XDoclet efforts both will improve. It'll be tougher to get the "loose" feel that our HTML docs have currently, and interdependencies between attributes and such will be a challenge. But, just like unit testing, perhaps just the fact that generated docs have a framework they must fit into will improve our code by keeping us from doing crazy things with super-overloaded tasks and such. Just maybe..... > Believe me, the last thing you'd want is me sending you old patches that > don't apply :) Wouldn't bother me....
