The one interesting issue is that as Java1.5 beta has just shipped, we should test against that to see if there are any surprises that we can fix in 1.6.1.

Ant 1.6.0 doesn't allow you to use source="1.5" in <javac>, 1.6.1 will.
At least on the Linux version, the -target switch for javac is broken (in the JDK, not in Ant) as -target 1.1 will produce 1.4 classes anyway. And the default value for -source seems to have changed as the JDK complains about -target 1.1 unless you also explicitly set -source 1.3. It looks as if 1.4 was the new default.
I just don't want to adapt anything here before I see the docs for JDK 1.5 as it is hard to tell what has been changed intentionally and what is a bug in the JDK.
I have successfully bootstrapped Ant with 1.5 and ran the testsuite. I didn't try the javadoc task (but that should be trivial) or rmi (hmm, could try to build JMeter). I don't have any project that uses javah, though.
we have some sample code from the ant book; I could try that out. Actually, we could make that part of the test suite -we dont need to verify that javah generates compilable C++, only that it generates C++.
Another area to think about is inheritance of stuff on the classloaders. Java1.5 does a good thing in that xerces and xalan have been repackaged under Sun, so you can have a real xerces and xalan without suffering endorsed directory grief (finally!). This may change our actions regarding which bits get passed down from above, and which bits dont
