We have written a large library of own very sophisticated ant tasks for all the high level stuff. What I am thinking is that especially for the work-flow control it would be great to steer the flow between different targets via complex if-statements. I see the point that Ant should be easy and descriptive, but a (somehow implemented) flow control would make life easier (for the integration team ;))

Don't macrodef/scriptdef and friends help out here? I mean it's possible to embed an entire scripting language (BeanShell etc) inside an Ant build file, do these not provide enough flexibility for what you need?
