This is true. To make things worse an antlib with several antlib.xml files would be perfectly legal (one per namespace the antlib wants to expose). > I agree that it's a little clumsy to be using META-INF/services here > but this is exactly the kind of application that the services stuff > was added to support. OK. Maybe the antlib would just point to the antlib.xml file(s) there and we add the description and versioning stuff into the antlib descriptor?
