Agree.

Short-term, probably just ship it with a static build.xml. Then I'd say once
we get sophisticated enough with Ant, we can build an XML out of bsd.java.mk
based on variables set in the Makefile. Unless you think it's trivial
enough to do the latter now.

"doc-install" target for those who want the JavaDocs built and installed.
Other than that I can't think of any others (it may be too early in the day
yet).
One thing not mentioned about Ant (often) is that it works great with CVS. I
was thinking that we could make "-devel" ports pull straight from CVS when
available, instead of being locked in to a particular version.

Destinations for everything has been defined based on our earlier discussions
_except_ for source code. I am assuming any source would be
${PREFIX}/src/${PORTNAME}/${PORTVERSION}.
The real question is whether we want to have Ant run dependency checking
instead of the pkg system. I think we do, my opinion is to turn over as
much of the functionality to Ant as possible. The more it does the more
effective it becomes.
