Best-Practices Profile of Ant at Sun's Dot-Com Builder
Sun has released an introductory article on Ant on their
Dot-Com Builder site on May 30 2001. See http://dcb.sun.com/practices/profiles/ant.jsp

- Ant 2.0 Requirements
-
-
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.
-
-
- 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:
-
-
- - Define the "contract" with build file writers to which Ant will be bound.
- - Define the "contract" between the Ant core and Task writers.
- - Make Ant more easily extendable by allowing additional tasks to be "dropped" in.
- - Allow Ant to function as a component to simplify integration with GUIs and IDEs.
- - Make Ant more regular and logical.
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- 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
- on-line. 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.
-
-
- For your reference some of the goals which have shaped the development of Ant 1.x are
- available here. These continue to be
- relevant to Ant 2.0.
-
-
- If you want to shape the future of Ant, join the
- Ant-Dev mailing list and contribute
- your ideas.
