Ant Plugins - ant version compatibility

2011-06-20 Thread Michael Nellis

I am investigating how to determine whether an Ant plugin, 
built with Ant 1.8.1, will work with Ant 1.8.2.

Is there a statement that indicates that this is supported, 
or is there a requirement that an Ant plugin must be compiled 
with 1.8.2 in order to work, and will then work with past 
versions, or do I just need to test it to see if it works?

Thanks.

Do you mean an Ant task? Generally it should work this (not the reverse of 
course), though specific incompatibilities ought to be mentioned in the 
changelog.

I should have qualified my question a bit better.
I have a set of Ant listeners that I need to make sure works from version to
version.

Development

Hi,

Drs. Jeffrey Carver, Rosanna Guadagno, Debra McCallum, and Mr. Amiangshu
Bosu,  University of Alabama, and Dr. Lorin Hochstein, University of
Southern California, are conducting a survey of open-source software
developers. This survey seeks to understand how developers on distributed,
virtual teams, like open-source projects, interact with each other to
accomplish their tasks. You must be at least 19 years of age to complete the
survey. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

If you are actively participating as a developer, please consider completing
our survey.
 
Here is the link to the survey:   http://goo.gl/HQnux

We apologize for inconvenience and if you receive multiple copies of this
email. This survey has been approved by The University of Alabama IRB board.

Thanks,

Dr. Jeffrey Carver

These should always work with later versions.  The Ant developers take
backward compatibility very seriously, in preference to probably any
other concern.
