We are talking about an existing Ant task that gets used a lot. And so far nobody has asked the commons-net people whether they'd want to maintain it. If you ask me, Ant is the owner of the <ftp> task and commons-net "only" a support library. The javacc, antlr or weblogic tasks (for example) are completely different beasts IMHO. Maybe Sun should ship the Javac compiler adapter?

I'm having a hard time to come up with a syntax for the task (you still have to tell it which taskname maps to which task) that doesn't look like antlib.xml.
