Emmett,

Thanks for working on this. Shaking that Ant 1.8.2 dependency and moving on to a later Ant would be great.


On what the antversion task supports
--------------------------------

Yes, the `<antversion/>` task supports an `atleast` attribute in place of `exactly`.

https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/antversion.html


On where to find Ant documentation
-------------------------------

https://ant.apache.org/


On defining successful ant build
---------------------------

If `ant clean initportal` successfully goes from zero to deployed to Tomcat, with the database appropriately loaded, that sounds like success.


Kind regards,

Andrew

I am successfully building uPortal using ant 1.9.2. To do that I needed to modify the bootstrap/build_includes.xml file to allow building with that version. I have three questions

1)
Is it possible to have the antversion tag specify a "greater than or equal" attribute, instead of "exactly"?

<antversion exactly="1.9.2"/>

to something like:

<antversion atleast="1.9.2"/>

2)
I suppose there is some documentation on build_includes.xml tags and their attributes. None of the XSD files in the project refer to antversion. Where can I find either generic ant build XML file documentation or uPortal specific ant build XML file documentation, or both?

3)
How can I verify that using ant 1.9.2 actually builds correctly? Is it enough that the build is successful and uPortal loads and functions.
