Declarative builds = intelligent tooling. Would json make it better? I hate editing json too. Personally I would go with toml but wait... that would look similar to something else... Ant's real problem is that it never found a path towards next generation. Why isn't ivy included by default? I want something bigger and easier to use that isnt gradle or maven but is more along the lines of an Ant+ivy default. It should have a bootstrap script, it should understand default project directories... It should continue to be declarative, but it should have an xsd or similar descriptive format that can be used for tooling. There is a future in the ant+ivy perspective that I don't see in other build tools.
