Port/reimplement XTest in a fully functional programming language, for debugging and performance purposes.
Since XTest is written mostly in Java and Ant scripts, you should be able to debug it quite easily. Just start ant with -debug or -verbose swithes. Unfortunately, this will not help only for all cases, since XTest have some tasks which does not have any log() for DEBUG or VERBOSE severity. Concerning possible overwrite of XTest from ant scripts to java code, I suppose this should be done for next version of XTest (XTest 2), since it is rather long term goal.
