<section name="What is Myrmidon?">

<p>
Myrmidon is one of the Ant 2 proposals currently in development. You can
read more about the goals of Ant 2
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ant2/">here</a>.
</p>

<p>
Myrmidon is a general-purpose <i>task engine</i>. It contains the basic
building blocks for assembling any sort of task-based tool. Ant 2
is an example of such a tool, which could be assembled using the Myrmidon task
engine, and a library of build related tasks.
</p>

<p>
Currently, Myrmidon is a prototype of what a task engine might look. It
includes a small set of tasks and data types. We are currently porting
many of the Ant 1.x tasks to the Myrmidon task engine.
</p>

<p>
</p>

</section>

<section name="Differences to Ant 1.x">

<p>Some of the differences between Ant 1.x and Myrmidon:</p>

<ul>

<li>
Groups of tasks can be assembled into self-describing <i>antlib</i> task
libraries. This makes it very easy to distribute and install tasks and data-types.
</li>

<li>
A project can import other projects, and reference their targets.
</li>

<li>
Changes to the property model:
<ul>
<li>Properties and data type references now share the same namespace.</li>
<li>Properties are mutable.</li>
<li>Properties are scoped into global, local, and parent contexts.</li>
<li><code>if</code> and <code>unless</code> checks now test the property
value against <code>false</code>, in addition to testing set/not-set.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>
Changes to task and data-type API:
<ul>
<li>An interface based API, through which a task interacts with the
task engine, and the services it provides.</li>
<li>A well-defined object lifecycle.</li>
<li>Polymorphic types are supported when objects are configured.</li>
<li>Reference handling is handled automatically when objects are configured.</li>
<li>Aspects can be used to decorate tasks, to add facilities like logging,
error handling, or user preferences.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>
A set of well-defined services and APIs have been introduced, to allow
tasks to do their work without depending on other tasks:
<ul>
<li>Execute external commands.</li>
<li>Execute other tasks.</li>
<li>Manage ClassLoaders and Class-paths.</li>
<li>Virtual file system (in progress).</li>
<li>Execute Java applications (in progress).</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>

</ul>

<p>There are plenty more features planned. You can read about them <a href="todo.html">here</a>.</p>
