Hello Ronald! Thanks for posting about your experience. I thought about it in a more general way without the need to change or extend distribution files. However it is good to know that this would work without problems. Imagine the following task definition: | <task name="task1" .. > | <attributes> | <attribute name="tasktype" type="xs:string" value="simple"/> | .. | </attributes> | </task> | Of course the values wouldn't need to be writeable. I see it as a way to provide more information about a task but not a specific one but a specific type of task. Does this make sense to you?
