Is there a standard replacement for > AntContrib that everyone is now using? my answer to your second question = Had been in the same situation last year, searching for an alternative to antcontrib. Tried Jware antxtras for a while first, but IMO it's to complicated/overloaded to fit in an existing workflow and several things didn't work as expected. Then i discovered flaka [1], it's lightweight but powerful, works with ant 1.7.x / jdk 5 and newer, has a lot of innovative features and easily replaced antcontrib in all my workflows. And after all it's under active development. With it's Expression Language it provides similar features as antxtras funcuts or the props antlib (works only for ant 1.8.x), but moreover it allows access to data objects.
