I'm aware that an <apt> task for using the new Java apt utility

to find it or add it to my current distribution of Ant (I'm using
1.6.4 at the moment).
I was wondering when this task will be added to the main branch of
Ant? It seems to be both useful and would make the ant toolkit more
'complete' with the Java 1.5 spec.
Also, how would I go about finding and installing the current
experimental apt task?
you need to check out the HEAD of ant from CVS, and build it. It will
be in Ant1.7
How do I check out the source? I found the SVN page at
http://ant.apache.org/svn.html, but it's not clear what [project] is
supposed to be. Is there a way to check out using a regular CVS client?
I think CVS may be in sync, but better to use SVN if you can. I use
SmartSVN, the java client, and give it the full URL to the repository;
it does the rest.
The URL you want is http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/core/trunk/ ;
use https if you think a proxy is going to interfere.
check it out, build it by
bootstrap or sh bootstrap.bat
build install-lite or sh build.sh install-lite
Making the optional jars is harder; look at fetch.xml to see how to
download the OSS libraries you need for the majority of optional things;
install these into lib/optional to compile, lib/ to use
