Github user bodewig commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/50 Thank you @twogee The idea was you can build a minimal set of Ant (without the optional tasks that have external dependencies) and run the tests for this minimal set without downloading anything external. This will no longer be the case when applying your PR. I'm totally fine with upgrading JUnit to 4.12, upgrading Regex and the Maven Ant tasks but really would prefer keeping the jars and licenses in lib/optional. If I can ask for a favor in your future patches, please don't mix whitespace, text changes and functional changes in a single commit. Reviewing your changes to `fetch.xml` is pretty difficult as the important change (adding antunit) is easily overlooked between all the other changes.
