Ant Libraries - The Sandbox

The sandbox is the place where new Ant Libraries start their life, it is a playground for Ant committers and other contributors who find committers to sponsor their ideas.

The sandbox is no dumping ground. If a Sandbox Ant Library fails to attract interest within a reasonable amount of time, it gets removed from the sandbox.

GenDoc - Generate the manual for Ant Tasks from their sources

Most of the information needed for writing the manual is inside the sources: attributes, nested elements (especially inherited one).
