Good morning Stefan,

nice work.

I do not know about all the optional tasks.

I think that supporting resources for the Perforce tasks for instance
would be a kludge, because p4.exe works against the filesystem anyway.

Resources make sense for tasks which are coded against a Java API and
which can take streams as input or output instead of files.

Maybe for the FTP Task ? Would we also make a FTPResource ?

Can we change the AntClassLoader (so definer, typedef, taskdef) to
support resources in classpath ?
For instance put in the class path all the jars which are in the
WEB-INF/lib directory of a war file, without explicitly unpacking the
war file.

Cheers,
Antoine
