Thanks for this Niklas, I'll get it kickstarted. I have some feedback: Niklas Gustavsson wrote:

I would like to avoid the need for such scripts if possible, but it's definitely a thought. > > Interaction with other packages > ------------------------------------ > This package will using Commons Logging for logging debug and error > information. I'd prefer not. Both Ant and Maven have other ways to log information, so if it is to be incorporated back into them it might be an issue. In addition, this will need to be capturing and streaming sys.out and err which will need more functionality than c-l provides, so we need to have an output interface anyway. > * Ant 2.X contains a new exec implementation, especially targeted for > reusability (see http://ant.apache.org/ant2/actionlist.html#exec). Actually, I don't know if Ant2 exists - that page was a proposal from quite some time ago IIRC. > Identify the initial set of committers to be listed in the Status File > ------------------------------------ > Brett Porter > Stefan Bodewig As requested I'll add Trygve to this list too.

Thanks again! I can set up the component in the sandbox - do you have some code to start it with already, or shall we start talking about where to start?
