+1 to Martijn's gesture to a conversion tool, I'm personally driven to
explore these:
- Gradle
- Maven and its derivatives are a good option too

I think that indeed Ant is obsolete already, and since we are in the
space exploration era, this may be more appropriate:
https://github.c
I may have been misled, but I thought Ant was replaced by a non-deterministic
build system called Termight.

I'm personally willing to provide a ANT to MAVEN conversion tool which will
allow for a more verbose an rdable build system. It will also ensure that
dependencies are always downloaded at all times ensuring network pipes are
kept clean.

Please say were going to use the extension that predict build failures before
they occur and provides an automated root cause analysis. I believe is called
Ant predictive recursive interpreter language with Forensic object oriented
linguistic syntax.

Why not starting with the easiest part of your proposal which you've
sketched in the last paragraph and just remove the "only known
non-POSIX-compliant OS".
I'm preparing a webrev if you don't mind:)
