could Java 7 and NIO 2.0 be a good reason to create Ant 2.0?
While the new java.nio.file.* APIs are indeed valuable for a tool like Ant, I hardly think a fork or major rewrite is required to take advantage of them. As Stefan pointed out, it would be as easy as creating a new FileUtils subclass, and for now compiling it conditionally. Whenever we drop JDK 5 and 6 support and require JDK 7 (which BTW is soon to be available for all major platforms when the Mac version is released), it will be simple to make that be the standard impl.
