I noticed that Ivy has Ant Contrib as a dependency. It's a project that has been asleep for a decade, and it shows. So I decided to revive it, and the result is here: https://github.com/twogee/ant-contrib
The question is, of course, is this sufficient for a 1.1 release? The next step would be a 2.0 release, removing what is no longer relevant (variable, importurl, post -- please suggest :-). As for HTTP methods, I'd like to improve on Missing Link tasks: https://github.com/twogee/ant-http Gintas P.S. While we're at it, in the light of the latest ASM debacle, I'm interested in improving Ant classloader task, see https://github.com/apache/ant/compare/master...gagern:28228-classloader; I also cloned the original proposal here: https://github.com/twogee/ant-classloader
