The repetition doesn't make it more obvious... 'Build-Project'? I can't
think of a single time I've heard someone say "I'm just going to update
the 'build-project' file". Build file, yes. Ant build file, yes. Project
file - never.

Works for me, but again, this isn't my main point. My main point was to
try to raise the Ant 2 proposals and see if there was any plan to do
anything with them, or if they're simply spinning their metaphorical
wheels.
So far, it's mainly been "Who needs the proposals? Ant 1 can do
anything!".
Again, my issue is that there doesn't *seem* to be a drive toward the user
requirements (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ant2/requested-features.html ), other than
luck...
