I=B4ll do that - but your attachement didn=B4t come through.
Can you send the patch to external.xml inline?

Only tasks which are part of the Ant distro are listed there and I =
think
we shouldn=B4t change that.

Your tasks are bundled in its own jar, whith its own website (maybe =
with its
own AntLib descriptor). So the link on /external is enough. Doco to =
your
task
is part of your distro and your website.
- Ant doesn=B4t have to maintain the changes
- You=B4re faster on changes
- You=B4re development cycle is independent from Ant=B4s one
- It=B4s according to several other tasklibs (xmltask, ant-contrib, =
...)

You keep control of the source, binaries and docs. You provide the =
website
for
download.
We only add the link on external-page.
