The best source of information on how to develop Ant tasks will always be, well, Ant's own source code. And the answers to the setter and TaskContainer issues were on the developing page: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/develop.html#writingowntask Granted there is lots of room for improvement there. But.... > I'll have to track down a good reference. Any come to mind ? Why yes, and I'm glad you asked! :) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1930110588 We have one chapter dedicated to writing custom tasks, and another that has info on writing custom selectors, FilterReaders, mappers, listeners, and loggers. At some point our publisher will post some chapters online at http://www.manning.com/antbook/ but they aren't there yet - and I haven't a clue which ones will be made available for free as samples. Proofreader is reading our stuff now, so we are well on our way to having it in print soon.
