I guess this brings up a bigger issue (again) which is when will we
modernize Ant?
I know that backwards compatibility is a huge thing, so I don't want
to step on toes, but it sure would be nice to be able to read and
contribute to ant's code with java6 features instead of java4
features.
java4 a
Sounds like an overcomplicated, brittle and error prone way to develop code.

Hi all,
For those of you frustrated with the complexity of Maven and Ivy
dependency management, Sweetened is a great ant only solution for
dealing with your jar files. It is blazing fast, easy to understand
and integrates really well with Eclipse.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems vastly more efficient to just write out
the correct string than call Integer.toHexString().
Also, don't forget to update WHATSNEW since this is potentially a backwards
incompatible change.

Here is a better example:

Buildfile: build.xml

Say you have an element like this:
If you want to load that through an XMLFragment and then output it later,
the DOMElementWriter.encode() method doesn't case properly for non-printable
characters.
The quick fix for me in this case was to overload that method and add this:

Ok, how do I do the same thing with the war task lib directory?

Yea, can we talk about this? It seems like there is a lot of places
where ant discourages people from being able to override stuff. Is
there a good reason for tha

Hi all,
Been a long long time since I've been around these parts, so apologies
if this has been covered before.
What I'd like to do is be able to add a couple of attributes to the
element that lives in a and then get access to those
attributes in my Task. I've mucked around for the last couple
