Ant is adding a task so that providers can plug into it, and Wagon can continue to be used in Ant. Absolutely - all I meant was that Wagon maintaining its own Ant task was probably not necessary given that. Wagon can plugin in to that. If we splinter implementations, the repository effort

Take the commons-jelly/ directories on ibiblio and place them in a similar structure as an example. org/apache/commons/jelly/commons-jelly/1.0/commons-jelly-1.0.jar[.md5|.asc], etc org/apache/commons/jelly/commons-jelly-tags-ant/1.0/commons-jelly-1.0.jar
