hello ant website moderator,

please update the external ant tasks website !

i just want to inform you about the move of the roxes ant tasks to 
sourceforge.

roxes ant tasks are now available as Orangevolt Ant Tasks at 
http://ovanttasks.sourceforge.net

the umbrella project site has also changed to www.orangevolt.com.

the description should be changed to:

Orangevolt ANT Tasks is a collection of Tasks for
ANT Make Tool from Apache Jakarta (http://ant.apache.org/).

The collections contains 17 Tasks for simplifying application deployment:

1. win32.properties

The win32.properties task provides access to special Windows
directories like desktop, program menu, program files and many more.

To use this task no special deployment for the native part is needed.
Orangevolt Ant Tasks auto deploy's the Windows dll's.

2. win32.registry

win32.registry lets you create/read/write/delete windows registry
subtrees and entries.

To use this task no special deployment for the native part is needed.
Orangevolt Ant Tasks auto deploy's the Windows dll's.

3. win32.shortcut

The win32.shortcut task is able to create Windows Shortcuts. Both Windows
Shortcut file formats (.url and .lnk) can be read and written.

To use this task no special deployment for the native part is needed.
Orangevolt Ant Tasks auto deploy's the Windows dll's.

4. sfx

sfx creates native self extracting executables out of ZIP archives.
Currently supported target platforms are Windows, MacOS X, almost any
Unix and self executable JAVA Jar files.
For Windows the executable
command may contain placeholders for registry, enviroment and
executable filename which are evaluated at runtime.
The icon for the windows executable can be defined be the task.

5. jstub

jstub creates native executables for Windows, MacOS X and almost any
Unix System out of a working JAR archive.
For Windows the executable
command may contain placeholders for registry, enviroment and
executable filename which are evaluated at runtime.
The icon for the windows executable can be defined be the task.

6. jnlp

jnlp simplifies the creation of JNLP files for JAVA Web Start 
(http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/).

The jnlp task is able to handle ANT Filesets as resources. This feature
makes jnlp file creation using the jnlp Task much more easier.

7. preferences (since version 1.1)

preferences lets you access the JAVA Preferences API. You can read, write,
import, export and test preferences data and nodes.

Using this task is very useful for configuring applications.

8. properties

The properties task is able to write Java property files. This task
can merge existing properties files with custom properties defined
in the ant build file. The custom property definition can be used
in conjunction with conditions. properties can be used to store
user input during build for later use.

9. find

The find task is able find files using a pattern. This task is especially
useful when you use libraries which name contain version/build information
which may vary over the time. Using the find task you can use the file
of your choice without changing the build file again and again.

9. compare (since version 1.2)

compare is able to compare 2 values either numerical
ore aplanumerical and set customziable properties
depending of the result.

10. execute (since version 1.2)

makes important properties of the underlying unix
system available as ant properties. espcially common
kde directories like program menu, desktop etc. are
supported.

14. unix.link (since version 1.2)

creates a unix soft link. works only under unix.

15. unix.kde.shortcut (since version 1.2)

creates a kde shortcut file used to create desktop
or program menu entries.

16. unix.kde.directoryshortcut (since version 1.2)
