I do not think we can continue maintaining tasks for every project in the world just because they do not want to depend on ANT.
Likewise, you cannot ask for every project to keep an Ant task just because Ant does not want to depend on them ;-)
Calm down. We are talking about an existing Ant task that gets used a lot. And so far nobody has asked the commons-net people whether they'd want to maintain it.
If you ask me, Ant is the owner of the <ftp> task and commons-net "only" a support library. The javacc, antlr or weblogic tasks (for example) are completely different beasts IMHO.
Yes.
Ant tasks - like any piece of code really - should simply reside where people care about them, fix bugs and enhance them. IMHO this usually happens in Ant if the task is generic enough to be used by most committers, and ftp seems to be the case.
