Ant Docs - valid attributes of taskdef?
I'm having difficulty navigating through the Ant documentation.
Is there somewhere an index of all elements, what attributes they permit, and
what their valid parents/children are? Basically, something resembling an XML
schema/API doc.
I spent over 20 minutes wading through ANT documentation just to find out
whether <taskdef> has an optional fork attribute. I still haven't found it.
Is there an ant quick-reference guide somewhere that would help me find these
answers quickly?

Another option is to run the AntStructure task. This "generates a DTD
for Ant buildfiles which contains information about all tasks currently
known to Ant." Be warned that "This task doesn't know about required
attributes, all will be listed as #IMPLIED." The quotes are from the Ant
docs.

This was built using the original proposal/xdocs code - which can be
regenerated from the current source.

It's 1.5 years out of date, but you could take a look
