Hi,
The reason for the failure is that „nightly smoke“ emulates a release. And for releases we require the release manager to use: * exactly the Java version that the release is intended for (e.g., you cannot make a 6.x release with Java 9) * the offcial Ant version The reason for these limitations is reproducibility of releases and to prevent bugs that might appear without our knowledge.

Hi, I was recently running ant nightly-smoke and it failed because my version of ant is too new. The default installed by homebrew is 1.10.1, while the smoke test expects ant 1.8 or 1.9, looks like. Searching for ant 1.10 on the dev list gives me tons of false positives (every jenkins failure, basically) so I have no idea if this has been discussed or not. Is the ant version requirement a minimum (1.8+) that was too narrowly implemented or a specific range due to some known issue in later ant versions? Thanks, Mike
