I dont think that using <script> makes <ac:*> obsolete. Just think about having a bunch of nested tasks. <ac:for> <available file="flagfile"/> <ac:then> <echo>then</then> <javac ...> <copy todir=.."><fileset ..><modified/></fileset></copy> </ac:then> <ac:else> <another-bunch-of-tasks/> </ac:else> </ac:for> Writing with <script> could be more work ...
