For that to work, Ant has to maintain backwards compatibility (which they
have been pretty good about lately), and projects can't step up to the
latest features until it has been released.
Peter changed the jar task to accept a "file" attribute, deprecated
"jarfile", and then proceeded to check in an updated ant.jar into the
avalon projects.

P.S. From personal experience, you can say that nobody should check in Ant
jars or have build.{sh,bat} files, but people will check them in anyway.
Even "-1"'s won't stop them. That's why I wrote Gump. I have a single
build script which can build any project with the collection of jars that I
specify. The fact that it produces nags that some people find helpful is
just a fortunate byproduct . ;-)
