Jason,

I think there is still some misunderstanding about what branches there are
out there - please refer to my previous email. Sorry if I haven't made this
clear enough in the past.

Anyway, I thought we agreed that this particular code would get embedded
into 1.1 (ie HEAD). Go forward with that - I'd love to see it, but I don't
think it's wise for 1.0 because removing Jelly/Ant from the core will most
likely break half of the plugins and existing projects. The problems I'm
having with the current code is not getting it working, but keeping all the
warts and unintuitive Jelly scoping so that existing stuff works. 

When we move to 1.1, we can afford to break existing stuff, because we'll
have a clear way to rewrite things for the new core that should make it
easy, and we will possibly be able to embed the old core with the new
compatibility proposals for the POM so old code will just run as it was
(this might be a bit ambituous :)

Anyway, I'm close enough on 1.0's branch now to getting it working. I could
still use a little help and I think dion has put his hand up to look into
some of the classloader issues and rogue plugins further, so let's keep on
that track.

But by all means go to town on HEAD and let's get the new-improved code
together as soon as it's ready!

Cheers,
Brett
