The refusal to embrace XML namespace, which are increasingly being used with XML and is a natural fit to partition XML dialect, is not a good sign either. The lack of <antlib> and the multiplication of Ant extension points beyond tasks/datatypes is hurting Ant even more (although Costin and Magesh are working on those, when will they show up in a release? In a year? Two?)
I consider [embed] experiment is almost done - I'll start proposing adding ( some ) of the stuff to the main tree as soon as I get some time
( that should be weeks ).
I would like to add that I've been building all my projects with Centipede that uses that stuff *extensively*, and it all works well.
Beta testing to the max! ;-)
Assuming ProjectComponentHelper hook is accepted ( in one form or another ), antlib(s) will be trivial to implement.
Regarding "extension points" - I think we do need more, not less. I agree it would be better to have a more consistent mechanism and definition and docs.
