Ah, what exciting times these are for Ant! Poor Erik is going to have a
second edition to write before the end of the year ;)
Its not on my calendar
Nor mine. Book writing is for the birds :) (well, its darn hard work, thats for sure... and the sad neglected look on the faces in the family is no fun).
Maybe if we get proposal/xdocs beefed up enough we can autogenerate the next book :) Feel free to jump in and help out with that everyone. At some point over the holidays I'll be beefing this up and getting it rolling again. The metadata that it mines is something IDE's could really leverage too - its not just for documentation. Anyone from Eclipse/NetBeans/IntelliJ/etc listening? How about accurate rich Ant task metadata to make your IDE's super Ant context sensitive? Its all there for the taking! Attribute names and types, element types, enumerated attribute values. Even required/non-required attribute information too...and much much more.
Erik
