So it won't help at all if we accept all tasks that are available. I will copy/paste what Steve Loughran already explained well concerning this particular issue: "FYI we are trying to move away from putting everything in optional.jar and move to a world where we can load stuff from jars more easily; once that is done we can break up optional jar into pieces anyway. Adding more tasks to ant just adds diversionary work. In particular, for other open source projects we like the tasks to go with the projects themselves, if at all possible." We went through a path that we feel is not good from our own experience and we would like to change it so that it benefits to everyone. Note: I apologize since I did not mean to take JDepend as an example since this one has been part of our mistake mission :-). You'll find a number of packages with their own tasks in their jar here: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/external.html Hope this clarify the situation. I understand your concern but please try to understand ours. Keep in mind that the task explosion is an issue because it force committers to have dozen and dozen of packages they are not confortable with and they are unable to test. So the overall quality suffer from this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
