<p>Sun has released an introductory article on Ant on their
Dot-Com Builder site on May 30 2001. See <a

</section>
- <section name="Ant 2.0 Requirements">
- <p>Ant has been in use for quite some time and has been used in ways
never conceived when it
- was originally written. While Ant 1.x has continued to sucessfully
evolve and grow, there
- are a number of limitations and inconsistencies that are now apparent
and which need to
- be addressed.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- As we continue to evolve and enhance Ant 1.x, it is now time to
define what Ant 2.0 will
- encompass. Ant 2.0 will be a major rearchitecting of Ant. It has a
number of goals including:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Define the "contract" with build file writers to which Ant will
be bound.</li>
- <li>Define the "contract" between the Ant core and Task
writers.</li>
- <li>Make Ant more easily extendable by allowing additional tasks to
be "dropped" in.</li>
- <li>Allow Ant to function as a component to simplify integration
with GUIs and IDEs.</li>
- <li>Make Ant more regular and logical.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>
- It is expected that Ant 2.0 will break Ant 1.x based build files. The
intention is to
- make this the last time that will happen.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- To advance the definition of Ant, user requirements are now being
accepted on the
- Ant-Dev mailing list. Any requirement will be accepted for
consideration. The
- requirements are being collected into a document which is available
- <a href="ant2/requested-features.txt">on-line</a>. New features will
be excepted
- until March 21st, 2001. At that time, each requirement will be
discussed
- for inclusion in an Ant 2.0 requirement document.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- For your reference some of the goals which have shaped the
development of Ant 1.x are
- available <a href="ant2/original-specification.html">here</a>. These
continue to be
- relevant to Ant 2.0.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- If you want to shape the future of Ant, join the
- <a href="mail.html">Ant-Dev mailing list</a> and contribute
- your ideas.

Best-Practices Profile of Ant at Sun's Dot-Com Builder

<p>Sun has released an introductory article on Ant
on their

- Ant 2.0 Requirements
- </h3>
- <p>Ant has been in use for quite some time and has
been used in ways never conceived when it
- was originally written. While Ant 1.x has continued to sucessfully
evolve and grow, there
- are a number of limitations and inconsistencies that are now apparent
and which need to
- be addressed.
- </p>
- <p>
- As we continue to evolve and enhance Ant 1.x, it is now time to
define what Ant 2.0 will
- encompass. Ant 2.0 will be a major rearchitecting of Ant. It has a
number of goals including:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Define the "contract" with build file writers to which Ant will
be bound.</li>
- <li>Define the "contract" between the Ant core and Task
writers.</li>
- <li>Make Ant more easily extendable by allowing additional tasks to
be "dropped" in.</li>
- <li>Allow Ant to function as a component to simplify integration
with GUIs and IDEs.</li>
- <li>Make Ant more regular and logical.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>
- It is expected that Ant 2.0 will break Ant 1.x based build files. The
intention is to
- make this the last time that will happen.
- </p>
- <p>
- To advance the definition of Ant, user requirements are now being
accepted on the
- Ant-Dev mailing list. Any requirement will be accepted for
consideration. The
- requirements are being collected into a document which is available
- <a href="ant2/requested-features.txt">on-line</a>. New features will
be excepted
- until March 21st, 2001. At that time, each requirement will be
discussed
- for inclusion in an Ant 2.0 requirement document.
- </p>
- <p>
- For your reference some of the goals which have shaped the
development of Ant 1.x are
- available <a href="ant2/original-specification.html">here</a>. These
continue to be
- relevant to Ant 2.0.
- </p>
- <p>
- If you want to shape the future of Ant, join the
- <a href="mail.html">Ant-Dev mailing list</a> and contribute
- your ideas.
