Another good reference for learning how to write Ant
tasks is Ant's own source code. Learn more here:
http://ant.apache.org/svn.html
The best details is probably ant's own codebase.
As and when I get around to updating those chapters on JDwA, I wont add
any more detail on writing new tasks, though I will add something on
using antunit: to test the things you've written. Writing new tasks is
not something we expect everyone to do, and its better to focus on
broadly relevant things like getting cruise control to work.
That said, I do plan a full chapter on extending ant through scripting,
as you can do a lot there now, enough that you dont always need to drop
to java.
Ant's source and developer mailing list are the best reference points
for task dev.
