I would like to contribute it under the Apache license, I'm not sure if it would be better to host on a Sun CVS or Apache/Jakarta CVS server. Either way, the module currently: * Requires Xalan 1.0, Xerces 1.0.3 and any version of Ant Post March 1st * Coexists properly with the XML module * Allows building of Ant projects and execution of Ant targets from within the IDE * Displays properties of each project, target, or task * Allows extensibility through a configurable XML file that maps tasks to attribute sets * Contains a template for creating a new project (in progress) * Will allow addition of new tasks with auto-validation for the required set of attributes for that task (wizard in progress) Please let me know ASAP, I am working on another extensive integration project using Forte and could really use any help with development of the module from the community.
