That's the rationale behind MANTTASKS-69, then MANTTASKS-18 (I'll have to rework it after MANTTASKS-69 has been commited). > Is there a standard testing harness for Ant tasks that we could employ? MANTTASKS-18 contains some simple tests. For more extended ones, AntUnit seems to be a good candidate: http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/antunit/.

I'm really interested in SNAPSHOT handling, both for download und deploy: MANTTASKS-18, 23, 67. I don't know if Embedder is nedded for that.
