Having been doing some work documenting scripting recently, I want to note some current limitations with ant's script support. <scriptdef> -no automatic check for attributes/elements declared. The script code needs to do that themselves, which leads to... -bad handling of BuildExceptions raised in scripts. This is because they get turned into the script-language-specific faults and then back out again, with the result that you get full stack traces. -no expansion of properties in nested text -no support for resource sources of scripts, such as things in JAR files. This stops you bundling scripts into antlibs <scriptcondition> -no way to pass in parameters to the condition -no expansion of properties in nested text -no support for resource sources of scripts, such as things in JAR files.
