Re: [platform-ant-dev] Moving Eclipse Ant to Ant 1.5.1

It will depend somewhat on the feedback received from making the switch in the HEAD stream.
I have been developing/working with Ant 1.5.1 for the last 2 weeks and have not yet noticed any
problems.
 
So the short answer is I don't know for sure but I would hope that Ant 1.5.1 would surface in either
the first or second integration build moving towards M3...as early as the Oct 22 integration build or
the Oct 29th build).
 
As for the full implementation of 1.5.1 functionality in our entry point, that will depend on the
help from the community, what other issues crop up independent of 1.5.1 functionality (no point
in adding new functionality if the old stuff doesn't work), etc, etc.
 
I have been working hard on an eclipse ant test suite so that we don't introduce any regressions (org.eclipse.ant.tests.core).
 
I really would not like this to slip past M3 (Nov 15th I believe).
 
If there is a key part of the functionality you wish implemented, I would be glad to
review a submission ;-) 
 
Thanks for showing interest,
Darins

Darin,

When do you expect this to hit integration?

Thanks much!

Shortly (read early next week), the org.apache.ant that is provided with
Eclipse will be moved to version 1.5.1. Please see
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24318

My plan is to release the 1.5.1 version to HEAD and test/get feedback on any
problems. Anyone interested can look at the changes off of the jakarta-ant
pages. The version of org.apache.ant incorporated into the Eclipse build
will then be changed when deemed "safe".

Then over time (as fast as we can),  we will expose the new functionality
found in 1.5.1 (-diagnostics, -propertyfile, -inputhandler...) through our
entry point of InternalAntRunner

Please comment if the plan is reasonable etc.

Thanks
Darins
