presentation on ant1.7 features

[Steve Loughran <st...@apache.org>]

List subscribers may be interested to see the presentation I gave last 
month at apachecon europe, which looks at leading edge features of 
Ant1.6, forthcoming stuff in ant1.7, and interesting things from third 
parties.

http://www.1060.org/blogxter/resources/5/ant-1.7.pdf

Note that these are all personal opinions; all statements about features 
and availability of ant1.7 are subject to change without warning, etc, 
etc. If you do want to play with the 1.7 features, you will need to 
check it out from CVS (soon, SVN), do a buiild yourself, then get 
involved on the dev mailing list if you encounter problems.

1. No, its not a full programming language. go prove turing-equivalence 
if you want to correct me on that. It still happily retains a workflow 
model for building things, not a fancy BPEL-esque syntax for generic 
workflow.

Once you do inline scripting you do get a real language; any of the ones 
you choose to use.

2. I dont know if presetdefs carry on down or not. I think they may, but 
you'd have to check. Stick them in an antlib and load it ever

Hi Steve,

Great presentation!

I had a couple of thoughts after going through the presentation. I
wrote about those at my blog:

Thanks,
