Ryan Ernst commented on LUCENE-6739:
------------------------------------
Requiring 1.8 actually makes it *harder* for developers on Mac to run the smoke
tester, because getting older binaries is a lot more work than using the above
command to install ant.
> Upgrade ant requirement to 1.9 in trunk (6.0)

> In trunk, I think we should upgrade the ant requirement to 1.9, both for the
> main build and for the smoketester. Ant 1.9 was released two years ago and
> the ant version packaged with Ubuntu 14 is 1.9.3. I'm not sure what comes
> with recent versions of Redhat systems and their derivatives, but the way
> that Redhat packages ant is completely incompatible with our build system
> anyway, requiring a manual install.
