I'd also agree with that. We fully intended to make Maven2 plugins
work as Ant tasks :)
So with a wrapper,
http://maven.apache.org/maven2/scm/maven-scm-plugin/
these goals would become tasks and their parameters would match up
what's on the individual pages.
Thoughts?
Just a worry about dependencies. If Ant has to rely on other code
from within maven for a set of maven plugins to run, we end up with a
horrible interdependency (Maven needs Ant <-> Ant needs some % of
Maven) just to compile ant. Could get nasty. But I agree if the
work is there and the code can be taken and made common between
projects, why not?
(When you first replied Brett, I checked out the source in svn web
thingy and I saw a fair bit of codehaus imports - I personally don't
have any good experience (as a user) of anything from codehaus so I'm
wary of that code, but you obviously have a more in depth view)

My thoughts were that in the future you'd download a base-ant, and
then depending on the SCM you use you'd download the scm-provider-
ant.jar
eg
base-ant1.8.jar + svn-ant.jar
Each antlib is going to be tiny compared to the amount you have to
download for all SCM functionality that we currently have (I'm still
on dial-up here so download speed and size of code is important to
me :) )
generic is good, provided
-we can have a conceptual model that is consistent across all SCM
systems.
-we can deal with extensibility through antlibs. I suppose you'd
have
The hard part is defining a consistent interface which is applicable
to all SCM systems, without dropping down to lowest common denominator.
