Description John Bossom

I discovered ant-contrib tasks at http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/

It would be really handy to have access to these flow control constructs.
specifically for, foreach, if.... etc.

One place where you could leverage this is the allElements.xml file... The delegateAllElements target could use a foreach loop over a property containing the list of features you would like to build, instead of having to enter a separate antcall for each feature.

Would you consider adding the ant-contrib tasks?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
