I’ve found a few old posts (some from 2003) regarding support for XPath. Any further developments on this? This would be a great feature to have. I have been using jaxen a lot lately and would love the ability to test XPath queries against an XML doc, without having to compile and build.
The ability to define project templates would be great too. Once we have decided on an architecture and standards for our applications, it would be nice to save that as a template. To create a new project, you could start with a template, which would include jar files (3rd party and our domain agnostic utils), directory structures, skeletons for build files/deployment descriptors and the like.
