code frozen on the day of the launch :)
As Steve has hinted several times now, a second
edition that's going to cover Ant 1.7 is in the works.
yeah, I'm about 2/3 of the way through the update. The hard part is not
just updating the ant bits, but how the rest of the java world has
changed too. I have had to learn about EJB3 last week, for example.
I'm not aware of any book that covers Ant 1.6, but there may be some.
I'd check the "Resources" link at the Ant web site and read some of
the stuff available online.
The O'Reilly book does cover Ant1.6, but it doesn't really look at the
new stuff, like <import>,<presetdef> and ant libs, and I don't remember
how much detail it goes in to writing tasks.
This slideset looks at what ant1.6/1.7 does, though there is an error in
my description of how import works :

Expect a new release of JDwA in the summer. If you are curious, all the
source for the examples is hosted (live) on sourceforge under
http://sf.net/projects/antbook
