In the specific case the same would happen if people switched to Java 25 and kept using Ant 1.10.15.[1] So we will have a second RC but please keep testing with the one we have right now. Even with the next RC you may need to change your build files for 1.10.16 to have your builds behave as before. Without 1.10.16 your builds would fail for the same reasons when running on Java 24+, but 1.10.16 should at least provide you with options to adapt. Stefan [1] For those interested, File#getCanonicalPath has always resolved symbolic links on Unix but prior to Java 24 not on Windows. Ant uses this in several places. Part of the changes for 1.10.16 is to switch to Path#toRealPath instead which resolves symbolic links (and junction) on Windows as well - likely since Java 7. If your build relies an links not being resolved, they will break - either with Java 24+ and Ant 1.10.15 or any version of Java and Ant 1.10.16. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
