Should the Ant source tree (src/main/ and perhaps also src/tests/) be

[ ] No, leave it the way it is - one big tree, using <selector> to
conditionally compile pieces and route classes to various JARs.
[ ] Yes, split it into subtrees, where each tree maps to an output
JAR, may have its own classpath, and is compiled completely or not at
all.
Like Stefan, I'm going to abstain. I don't like the reorganization, but
recognize that maintaining the selectors as they exist right now is
problematic and bug prone. Looking forward to the long-ago promised day
that we could break backwards API compatibility with an Ant 2.0 release
and reorganize the classes into a more sensible package structure. Ahh
well, someday.
And while we're at it:
Should ant.jar and ant-nodeps.jar be consolidated?
[ ] No, leave these as two JAR outputs (and two subtrees if the first
proposal is accepted).
[X] Yes, merge them into one ant.jar (and one subtree " " " " " "), to
include all tasks and types with no linkage-level deps on 3rd-party
libraries (even if there is an implicit dep on a 3rd-party tool such
as Perforce), and remove the "Core" vs. "Optional" distinction in the
manual.
Big fan of that.
