I was the one that actually requested this feature over a year ago ;) |

As far as an end-user, probably no impact at all. |

Well, until at least 1.7 is stabilized, I don't see build.xml rewriting |

going away entirely. |

One possibility I see, is in our java-ant-2.eclass, we could check for |
| 21 |
the version of ant we're using. If we're using < 1.7, do the traditional |
| 22 |
rewriting. Otherwise, we use the new ant.build.javac stuff. |
