The main issue to me, and I am not completely sure it is fixed in the proposals, is the ClassLoaders mess that we have today. With the current policy that every badly written task that works today must continue to work in the future there is little posibility to fix this problem. A problem that otherwise is completely fixable in Ant1, there has been several patches that did it. The other issue is to be able to separate better the execution engine so that it can be reuse in projects that want a way to do things like compile files or perform FTP, etc. without requiring firing a complete ANT build-project.
