Being able to build 1.1 code using an Ant that itself only runs in a 1.2 VM doesn't matter to folks who develop and build their code on systems for which JDK1.2 is unavailable. You would essentially be telling those folks they can't use Ant in their development environment, they will have to go find some other system that has a 1.2 VM available for doing their builds. I don't know how many systems only have 1.1 VMs available, but I would rather see Ant be inclusive rather than exclusive. Just my 2 cents as a devoted Ant user.
