Where did this come from? Is this just obvious flamebait? If not, have a
look through CVS logs to see many good ideas and code contributed to ant
by its community. Brilliant ideas such as build-events, lots of
contributed tasks. The ant community is very healthy. Comments such as
this will not inspire people to contribute, IMHO.
