Github user bodewig commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/53 Ahh, there is the misunderstanding. `fetch.xml` is only there for Ant development, not for Ant users at all. It is there to be used by people who want to build and test Ant. Users are expected to pick their dependencies as they need them. I'm not sure whether there are breaking changes between Commons Net 1.x and 3.x but if Ant is compiled against 3.x chances are it won't work against 1.x anymore, which would break the builds of users who depend on 1.x (and never cared about `fetch.xml` at all as they managed their dependencies themselves).
