- Quokka bundles the if, for, run-target, var and switch tasks from Ant-Contrib
- Xwork2

- Studio 7 Designs
- The web site template is based on a customised version of Studio 7 Designs Nautica 05 template
- Maven
- Although Quokka is intended as a replacement to Maven, Quokka has taken some of the good ideas from Maven, such as archetypes and the concept of an abstract life cycle.
Plugins are generally a thin wrapper over existing ANT task or 3rd part libraries. See the particular plugin documentation for more information.
