I see round-tripping as a major impetus behind an Ant 2.0. I guess I have to see a list of the shortcomings in Ant 1.2! I haven't experienced too many from a user's perspective. I imagine that we should start to collect a list of these shortcomings so we (you) know what needs to be addressed in a new version. I'll start: 1. Ant build scripts should be parsed from a variety of valid input sources into a DOM structure to facilitate Ant integration into GUI editing environments. (let the flames begin) :-) jim
