Is there any value in having a wizard-type interface for part of it, that would pre-compile, and pre-configure an Ant custom distribution to use certain "fringe" tasks? Like making sure the libraries needed are present, etc. and then zipping everything up together?

That is most excellent! Yep, +10 I would have done it myself, but 90% of my java hacking is done at work, and my net abilities are limited. All I really need is somewhere to put a task with * Task code * Documentation * Sample build file And then have a url I can point people to when they say "I wanna foreach task" Obviously searching is useful too. I don't think you need any sort of CVS though.
