-  Over time we expect further optional tasks  to support additional EJB Servers.
+    Vendors such as BEA and IBM now provide custom Ant tasks to work with their
+    particular products. More importantly, EJB3.0 renders this whole process obsolete.
+    Accordingly, developement of these tasks is effectively frozen. Bug reports
+    and especially patches are welcome, but there is no pressing need to add
+    support for new application servers. Nobody should be writing new EJB2.x applications
+    and definately not new EJB2.x servers.
