Hi Stefan & all,
Sure - "bad". :)
The text for the "fail"-task and so on - they have the same... functionality as "echo"?
Any task that accepts text content, that it has a setText() method, has the right to be given the content text with all whitespace, as permitted by the XML-spec (in my reading).
That means: fail, sql, telnet, mail, input and many other parts of the system.
What about Ant 2? It is sleeping until 1.6 is completed? The 2-version was supposed to... "break things" for a last time? Then why not consider to do something about it as part of Ant 2?
There is currently no plans to do a 'breaks things' version of Ant...instead Ant1.x is evolving to the point where we can call it 2.0. There are too many people and tools that use ant for us to forcibly break everything.
If we were, believe me, there are more pressing things, like why if= and unless= operation, (which take the name of a variable, not a value), or the whole issue of what to do with properties that havent been defined.
