No, because they add complexity to the simple case and to the lower layer. I have nothing against roles - if implemented at a higher layer ( using interfaces, declarations, introspection - or any other means ). I am -1 on bundling the roles with the antlib. You want roles ? Make a proposal for roles. You should be able to use roles without antlib, and you should be able to use antlib without roles. > So how do *you* propose we plug in custom implementations of all the > things mentioned above, if not with roles? --DD Add them as project compoenents ( or types if we don't merge tasks+type ), and use interfaces, or introspection, or any other form of metadata.
