<strong>Ant 2.0 Requirements</strong> |

<blockquote> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Ant has been in use for quite some time and has been used in ways never conceived when it |
|
|
|
|
|
was originally written. While Ant 1.x has continued to sucessfully evolve and grow, there |
|
|
|
|
|
are a number of limitations and inconsistencies that are now apparent and which need to |
|
|
|
|
|
be addressed. |
|
|
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
As we continue to evolve and enhance Ant 1.x, it is now time to define what Ant 2.0 will |
|
|
|
|
|
encompass. Ant 2.0 will be a major rearchitecting of Ant. It has a number of goals including: |
|
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Define the "contract" with build file writers to which Ant will be bound.</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Define the "contract" between the Ant core and Task writers.</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Make Ant more easily extendable by allowing additional tasks to be "dropped" in.</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Allow Ant to function as a component to simplify integration with GUIs and IDEs.</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Make Ant more regular and logical.</li> |
|
|
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is expected that Ant 2.0 will break Ant 1.x based build files. The intention is to |
|
|
|
|
|
make this the last time that will happen. |
|
|
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
To advance the definition of Ant, user requirements are now being accepted on the |
|
|
|
|
|
Ant-Dev mailing list. Any requirement will be accepted for consideration. The |
|
|
|
|
|
requirements are being collected into a document which is available |
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="/ant/ant2/requested-features.txt">on-line</a>. New features will be excepted |
|
|
|
|
|
until March 21st, 2001. At that time, each requirement will be discussed |
|
|
|
|
|
for inclusion in an Ant 2.0 requirement document. |
|
|
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
For your reference some of the goals which have shaped the development of Ant 1.x are |
|
|
|
|
|
available <a href="/ant/ant2/original-specification.html">here</a>. These continue to be |
|
|
|
|
|
relevant to Ant 2.0. |
|
