Hello Hans,

Regarding the naming scheme I was wondering why the archive_jar task does not use camelcase notation. All other default tasks seem to use consists naming. Is there a specific reason for the difference or is this just an oversight? Thanks.

Thanks for pointing this out. There is no deeper reason for the current naming scheme of archive tasks. In fact we are revisiting the way we name archive tasks for 0.6.

Thanks for looking into this. I might add that I find the Ant approach to simply map common tool names to task names pretty straightforward. It's quite consistent and provides little surprise.

Another observation regarding naming of the Java tasks, is that the names does not always map to activities. Instead of "compileTests" which would be a concise description of what the task does, you use "testCompile". Again no biggie, having read the documentation just once you will know that this will compile any tests, but semantically it leaves room from interpretation. Just a thought. Thanks.
