IMHO, procedural tasks do not belong in Ant. Ant is a rules driven system. Yes, I have used the procedural tasks from Ant Contrib and yes, I think they are useful. But, they don't belong in Ant core. I always try to implement the Ant file in pure Ant first, and, only as a last resort do I use the extension tasks to do what I want. It is a conscious decision to deviate from the Ant core.

Is there any reason for that? To program a loop in a ANT Build file i have no really alternative or have I ?
