RE: [aspectj-dev] Changes to Ant forking classpath for maven
|
This kind of change makes me nervous at this stage in the release process; however, this is your decision, Wes. You "own" the ant support and if you're confident in the stability and importance of this change then you should go ahead with it. I'm glad you're keeping the list informed.
