Re: Ant 1.9.0
Hi Antoine, I had made a start towards upgrading to Java 5 syntax in the Ant codebase some months back. At some point we started getting odd failures in Gump which I wasn't able to understand. It might be nice to figure this out and finish the Java 5-ization for 1.9.0. br, Matt On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 9:09 PM, Antoine Levy Lambert anto...@gmx.dewrote: Hi, I would be interested to prepare soon an Ant 1.9.0 release. In WHATSNEW I see we already have 17 fixed bugs. Are there other bugs - ideally with patches - that the community needs ?

Re: Ant 1.9.0
We've discussed this before[1] and already voted in favour of removing the commercial tasks from Ant some time ago[2]. A complication was that we wanted to create AntLibs for them if we couldn't get the vendors to support them directly so that there was minimal upset for our users, but apart from the VSS tasks that didn't happen. I did contact all the vendors at the time but I got virtually no response. The only company that did respond, as I recall, was Perforce. Perhaps that is why they now provide decent tasks themselves. So this is one instance where what we wanted to happen has happened. +1 to removing the tasks, with a document redirect on where to get the tasks now.

Re: Ant 1.9.0
Hello Bruce, I can see myself implementing the removal of the Perforce Ant tasks, this should be pretty straightforward. I will work on this this week-end.

Re: Ant 1.9.0
Hello Matt, I have seen that you started upgrading to Java 5 syntax in the Ant codebase. I do not see myself going systematically in the codebase to do that because I do not have the time to do it. I will look to see whether there are failures in Gump. I also got some failures running the unit tests in Java 1.7 locally on my Mac, I will need to dig into that and see whether the errors are reproduceable … Regards, Antoine On Jan 31, 2013, at 10:31 AM, Matt Benson wrote: Hi Antoine, I had made a start towards upgrading to Java 5 syntax in the Ant codebase some months back.
