Let me put it this way...we are working out a vision paper and we do not want to publish our stuff yet. While selecting the part of the tool chain, I decided to use continuous integration. Due to the estimated customer project size we want to support, distributed builds are necessary to drive down build times from half a day to one hour or less. That was the lesson learned in a project with 100 developers.
So, for the sake of build times I am convinced that ant should at least support an interface to plug into environments which work with distributed builds. To keep ant reasonably small it might be a good idea, not to include the required functionality in ant itself. Generally, the "distributed build" question is a serious design issue which has to bee taken into account early. Can you answer the question which is the biggest project ant should support?
