What if, instead of going thru the hassle of upgrading ant everytime we remove it and pretend people have it installed? I think everybody has ant installed by now. (in case they have 1.5.x, we could ship the <import> task only)
WDYT?
A strong -1 on this: Cocoon is distributed as source only, and all users have to build their own binaries. If we remove Ant from the distro, we'll loose lots and lots of users that won't know how to install Ant, set the necessary enviroment variables and all that stuff.
And there aren't that much Ant releases, so upgrading it isn't really it a pain.
