    Some of the differences between Ant 1.x and Myrmidon:

    +
      +
    • + Groups of tasks can be assembled into self-describing + antlib task libraries. This makes it very easy to + distribute and install tasks and data-types. +
      • +
    • A project can import other projects, and reference their targets.
      • +
    • Properties and data type references now share the same namespace.
      • +
    • + Changes to task and data-type API: +
        +
      • An interface based API, through which a task interacts with the + task engine, and the services it provides.
        • +
      • A well-defined object lifecycle.
        • +
      • Polymorphic types are supported when objects are configured.
        • +
      • Reference handling is handled automatically when objects are configured.
        • +
      • Aspects can be used to decorate tasks, to add facilities like logging, + error handling, or user preferences.
        • +
      +
      • +
    • A set of well-defined services and APIs have been introduced, to allow + tasks to do their work without depending on other tasks: +
        +
      • Execute external commands.
        • +
      • Execute other tasks.
        • +
      • Manage ClassLoaders and Class-paths.
