+1. It would be nice if we define some way in the framework to
mark tasks as deprecated and for the ANTCORE to take care of
sending the warning or whatever action we decide deprecated tasks should
do.
An idea out of the top of my head:
public interface DeprecatedTask {
/** The version in which the task was deprecated */
String getAntDeprecationVersion();
/** A string informing of possible replacements for this task, maybe
null */
String getAntDeprecationReplacement();
}
Altenatively, could manage this not in the java code but as part of
metadata in <taskdef/> or
<typedef/> in the antlib definintions.
Actually, having some concept of metadata associated with a definintion
may not be a bad idea
in general. I can see lots of interesting things that can be there
(e.g., dependency info, deprecation, etc). Well, it will only make sense
if ANTCORE or antlib
are able to use this info someway.
