some interesting things to worry about soon, based on the change log: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jcp/beta1/index.html
1. a new ProcessBuilder : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jcp/beta1/apidiffs/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html
Either this eliminates all the platform specific grunge, or it adds new complexity
2. an XML format for properties.
3. InetAddr.isReachable(). I can see a good utility class for deployment there
<reachable host="gecko" />
We also get getenv back, which would be good. With that and processbuilder it should be much easier to bring up ant on any new platform; all you need to address at port time are primarily filesystem diffs.
