  73. <p>Some of the differences between Ant 1.x and Myrmidon:</p>
  74. <ul>
  75. <li>
  76. Groups of tasks can be assembled into self-describing
  77. <i>antlib</i> task libraries. This makes it very easy to
  78. distribute and install tasks and data-types.
  79. </li>
  80. <li> A project can import other projects, and reference their targets. </li>
  81. <li>Properties and data type references now share the same namespace.</li>
  82. <li>
  83. Changes to task and data-type API:
  84. <ul>
  85. <li>An interface based API, through which a task interacts with the
  86. task engine, and the services it provides.</li>
  87. <li>A well-defined object lifecycle.</li>
  88. <li>Polymorphic types are supported when objects are configured.</li>
  89. <li>Reference handling is handled automatically when objects are configured.</li>
  90. <li>Aspects can be used to decorate tasks, to add facilities like logging,
  91. error handling, or user preferences.</li>
  92. </ul>
  93. </li>
  94. <li>A set of well-defined services and APIs have been introduced, to allow
  95. tasks to do their work without depending on other tasks:
  96. <ul>
  97. <li>Execute external commands.</li>
  98. <li>Execute other tasks.</li>
  99. <li>Manage ClassLoaders and Class-paths.</li>
  100. <li>Virtual file system (in progress).</li>
  101. <li>Execute Java applications (in progress).</li>
  102. <li>...</li>
  103. </ul>
  104. </li>
  105. </ul>
  106. <p>There are plenty more features planned. You can read about them
  107. <a href="todo.html">here</a>.
