This is what currently happens when Ant is broken. If bootstrap-ant fails, you get a lot of missing prereqs. This has happened a few times and we've started to hand out "I broke Gump tonight" T-Shirts in [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8-) > The sensible thing to do is to fall back to a released version of > Maven if Maven itself fails to build. I don't think this is unique to Maven (or Ant). It applies to all projects others may depend upon. It would certainly be better to use the "last good build" of Tomcat instead of not building Cactus at all for example. > I've addressed this to a separate mail on the gump list (interested > parties should probably join the discussion there).
