There > was no consensus to break backward compatibility in this way. Jesse, Sorry but I really cannot see the logic of this action in version 1.8. It seems that the default value for the includeantruntime parameter was reversed with insufficient consideration for the consequences to users. This action caused 100s of my own build.xml files to now require editing in order to avoid this warning; I am certain that 1000s (if not millions) of Ant users around the world have been impacted. Googling bears this out. I understand that includeantruntime="true" is useful to the Ant developers and to some individual Ant users but it violates a basic premise of software development: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". And, as the Ant document states, it can render a build.xml that is environmentally-sensitive which, in most cases, is not a good idea (I agree with the documentation). -Richard -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
