Dear Ant-Team, I am an avid Ant user since more than 10 years back and I'm happy to see how it has progressed!
Recently I have begun writing very complex build scripts and found myself craving for a more programmatic solution which using Ant in standard configurations means using JavaScript or writing extensions. In addition, I have also been using .NET tools like NAnt. In NAnt there is no JavaScript support but there is support for native C#. I find C# and Java much better for this purpose than JavaScript so my question is really: Would it be completely unthinkable to add Java as a scripting language? Since Ant already presumes JDK it doesn't sound completely undoable either. Beanshell isn't an active project and I don't see any advantage with Beanshell compared to native Java.
