On controversy: A lot of your stuff, Dale, particularly the various call styles, looks very nice. Another extension I like is ant-contrib's foreach task. However, some companies will only approve a relatively limited number of technologies for use within the enterprise. The endeavor of getting a new technology approved in this type of environment can be arduous. For this reason one of my priorities when I create Ant builds for non-personal projects is to make things work as much using only tasks distributed with Ant (I do use optional tasks as well which are of a classification in between). Antelope and ant-contrib include a lot of niceties but so far I have run into few problems that could not be solved without adding these into the mix.
