Hello all,
I have been looking and developing some custom task for ant, for the last few days. I noticed that ant tasks don't use java.io directly. I am assuming this is due to the way java.io.File behave on different platforms, and the support for patterns .... etc. However, now with java 7, we have the Path class that is very convenient to use. I think having this will make writing tasks easier, by cuting down the steps to convert between ants Path and java.nio.file.Path. Are there any interests ?
