Some features written in 1.7.0 planning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
    * Java1.5 environment fetching. Ideally as part of a rework of Execute.getProcessEnv() (if we plan to retrofit commons-exec in source after it stabilizes, maybe we should forego this at present? -MJB)
  
+   * Add mapper support on archive tasks (zip etc). So you could flatten libraries in WAR/EAR.

   * security hardening. "locking down...or giving the opportunity to lock down; e.g. secure class loading, working with digital certs, etc..." Rated as 'like' because of the difficulty.
   * Look at all SCM tasks and pull in pending patches for new features. Find people to test them. (I looked at VSS when implementing as antlib (svn sandbox), pulled in as many patches/fixes as I could find in bugzilla - Kev)
   * Lightweight Java1.5 distro without Xerces.

+  * <classloader> to allow adding of jars to the current classloader (would solve a ''lot'' of problems at the cost of some issues)
